CityViewNC.com | 57 Henry Holt "I had been married about a year, I was 26 years old. It was early, 6:30 p.m. on a Saturday night so I stepped over to the card room to say hello to some guys and my wife was at the bar. Fif- teen minutes went by and Cliff came over and said, "I want you to know, you have le your wife unattended for too long now." I'll have you know, I shot out of that card room. She didn't send him aer me, and that's the kind of man he was. Cliff was making a point that I le my wife unattended to go talk to those clowns in the card room." Macon Thomason "I was probably 21 and I had come back home from Chapel Hill. ere was a deb party at the club. It was busy. And it was in the formal room that's now Cliff 's Bar. I walked in and saw him. I asked, 'Hey Cliff can I get a Jack and Coke?' He replied, 'No.' And with that he pulled out three glasses and a bottle of Maker's Mark, that's when you had liquor bottles they kept at the Club and with that he said, 'Your aunt by is buying your drink today. is is how people who appreci- ate bourbon and whiskey have it. One day you will appreciate this more than anything.' He poured some Maker's, neat, into the glass, then he poured whiskey and soda in the second glass. at's still my drink today. en in the third glass, he poured whiskey and ginger ale and said, 'But I prefer 7-Up because it doesn't color the liquor.' And that's how I learned what goes into a proper drink." Cliff 's legacy is etched into the elders of Highland Country Club, their chil- dren and perhaps even their children's children when they will eventually ask who the grand oak bar was named af- ter. To the members, he was respected not only as an employee, but as a friend. And Dolph Berry and many others share the same sentiment, "We all re- member him. ink about him. And we just can't say enough wonderful things about that man." Cliff Newman loved Highland Country Club, the members loved him. He enjoyed his job… And that's why he stayed.
