Guestbook/Condolences
To the Clarks-
I had the honor of working for/with Dr. Clark at Deerfield School as the speech therapist and saw him off upon his retirement. I was cleaning out my things and I came upon the "You are a Winner" card from Dr. Clark. I decided to look him up and so very sorry to see that he has passed away. I have his plaque on my office wall always. He was a wonderful man and think of him often. He has made an impact upon me and so many others. I hope you are all well.
