Yes, Clark was a fine person. I am proud to count him as a friend and mentor (he served on my graduate dissertation committee though I did not attent UT Austin due to my undergrad grades not being sufficiently high to get me in -- I went to University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State instead), and was quite a help to me. He continued to do field work in ichthyology until he was 85 years old. Clark died in the early part of the last decade of colon cancer.
