March 30, 2013 at 11:14 pmI was privileged to meet Clarence & Fern a few years ago after becoming their “next door neighbor,” a relative phrase considering our location in the National Forest. What a delight! Such welcoming, conscientious, witty, kind & gracious, hard working folks! Always willing to help, no matter the circumstances or hour & amazingly generous to share those wonderful tomatoes they had managed to harvest, despite the multiple antics (& adventous relocation journeys!) of various critters! Clarence spoke with such sincerity, pride & insight regarding his life & family, as well as his years in the Marine Corps during WWII. I was astonished to learn that my deceased father, another proud Marine, had a serial number near to Clarence’s, immediately apparent to Clarence that they had traveled across the Pacific on the same ship! While looking at some of Clarence’s pictures, I was again astounded to find that I recognized subtle, but distinct background features from photos from my dad! They had even later shared “R & R” time a few doors down from each other! Wow!! The stories & reflections I was truly honored to hear from Clarence are forever a priceless gift to me, as well as my family, in honor of my father!! If not for Clarence, I would not have received the additional clarity relating to a time most of us can only imagine. I am blessed to know a man of such integrity & so thankful to have such a friend! Our country is a better place thanks to Clarence, as now Heaven is.
