The late Malcolm Jefferson, a well-known former maître dâ and manager of the Boonsboro Country Club, is remembered today as recalling each and every club memberâs name and for being a father figure to many of the men who frequented the club for the 50 years Jefferson worked there.
On Wednesday, the club invited Jeffersonâs widow, Virginia, to dine at the newly renovated Malcolm Jefferson Grille â recently rebranded as MJâs.
Virginia and Malcolm Jefferson were married for 70 years, until his death in 2008 at age 80.
Virginia Jefferson, who will turn 109 in August, lives at Westminster Canterbury on VES Road and worked at the club alongside her husband as a pastry chef for 42 years.
