Dr. Clark is the doctor that came to our house to deliver me on a Easter Sunday. My Mother was slow so she went out and picked fresh peas and radishes from her garden and fixed lunch. I finally arrived at 6:10 p.m. that evening and because I was a 12 pound baby he told my Mom that he had delivered babies before, but not elephants. I was told this story all my life.

Thanks to Lynn Fischer for the transfer so I could add his biography.

REST IN PEACE DR. CLARK
