Very sorry to hear of Clyde's passing. He was a stalwart member of the great class of 1952! He and Ann drove to Minneapolis,MN for the funeral of my kid brother, Terry, who was best man at their wedding. That is real friendship. I will never forget that. Also looked forward to our class reunions. My wife and I went to the garage where his restored Jeepster was housed, at the urgeing of Albert Vaughn. Outstanding. Stan Matheny
