Who is Mark McGraw?
Normally I would not write about my staff individually, but I make an exception for Mark because his father , Tug McGraw was a neighbor and more importantly, a good friend. Mark is a chip off the old block and I am happy to have Mark as friend who happens to be a server at Rembrandt's. The old saw about the server who is an actor disguised as a server may certainly be applied to him. Mark recently wrapped a locally produced movie "No Boundaries" in which he plays the lead and is getting ready to go to Alabama to work on a movie with Mickey Rourke and he hopes he can get a part for his half-brother Tim McGraw in the same movie.
I write this letter as a result of an incident which happened at Rembrandt's on Wednesday, August 27, 2008. There was a party of 12 women celebrating the birthday of their good friend JoAnn. Their initial gift to her (and this is where the situation starts to become r-rated) as they are walking into Rembrandt's is a blow-up doll restructured to resemble Vince Vaughan of "The Wedding Crashers" fame. Mark was not their server but was noticed by the women as he walked by. Their inquiry led their server, Delice, to ask Mark to deliver coffee to their table as a birthday gift to JoAnn. It was such a heartfelt, touching moment (why, it almost brings a tear to my eye thinking about it.) that I felt I had to share the event with others. So this is Mark as he brings coffee to JoAnn and her friends.
