Meet the webmaster
Your webmaster for MCSYD is: Mr. James K. McLaurin
I was born on Long Island to the parents of John W McLaurin Jr. and Elizabeth M Sydnor McLaurin in the hamlet of Bay Shore in 1952. My dad, a single parent, was lost early in my life due to a drunk driver. His brothers and sisters took care of me and my twin brother and sister until my mother returned. My uncles and aunts taught all their nieces and nephews the value of an education and to this day I thank them dearly.
Although sports occupied most of my time growing up as a boy, and having family members who loved them too, I was blessed to attend college and learn more things about life and myself. Having obtained computer skills at an advance level, it was very easy for me to take those skills and give back something to my family in the form of this FAMILY WEBSITE.
Enjoy!

The place of course was all trumped up inside and out.

Owner of Donald Trump-themed restaurant faces deportation by ICE
Food and politics clearly don’t mix... The owner of a Texas restaurant group that celebrates Donald Trump is facing immigration enforcement. Here’s everything you need to know.
Launched in 2020 in Bellville, Texas, the Trump Burger establishment was created as a loving nod to the president and as an excuse to sell Trump-stamped burger buns.
Described as a patriotic restaurant, filled with Trump memorabilia, the fast-food chain has grown to include four other outlets across the state - furthering the reach of its politically themed menu. Which includes the First Lady Chicken Sandwich, in case you were wondering.
However, the patty party could be over, as the co-owner of the Trump Burger chain,
Roland Beainy, is reportedly (and somewhat ironically) being investigated by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) - the controversial agency central to Donald Trump’s intensifying immigration crackdown.
