MacKenzie or Mackenzie
 Our northern friend's name has
been spelled two different ways: Mackenzie (sixth generation) and
MacKenzie (seventh generation) and recently has been added to the current
Attic section on Ty's web site as Mackenzie. Is this a typing error or Ty's attempt to
be politically correct? The Mackenzie clan in Scotland has a history of dating back to
the 13th century. Two notable clans dedicated to preserving their Scottish
heritage and traditions are the Clan MacKenzie Society in the Americas (Canada
and U.S.A.) and the Clan Mackenzie Society of Scotland and the
UK. It is not uncommon to find the Gaelic derivative spelled either
way. Another note of interest: there are only two sixth generation
Attic Treasures that actually have tag lines on the inside of their tags.
Jack (the U.K. exclusive) and MacKenzie. All other sixth generation Attics
have the "to" and "from" lines.

Wonder where Mac's tag line
"Strong and Free-Patriot of the North!" came from. Perhaps,
Canada's National anthem.
| O Canada!
Our home and native land! |
| True
patriot love in all thy son's command. |
| With
glowing hearts we see thee rise, |
| The True
North strong and free; |
| From far
and wide, O Canada, |
| We stand on
guard for thee. |
| God keep
our land, |
| Glorious
and free! |
| O Canada,
we stand on guard for thee, |
| O Canada,
we stand on guard for thee. |
