WHEREAS, The son of Charles Driver Clark Sr. and Mary Laverne | ||
Lee Clark, "Buddy" Clark was born in San Angelo on January 22, 1943, | ||
and he grew up with a sister, Jo Ann; he graduated from Menard High | ||
School and went on to attend Texas A&M University and Sul Ross State | ||
University; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Clark married the former Jo Williamson on July | ||

Conservation Board in 1992; and | ||
WHEREAS, Buddy Clark gave freely of his time and expertise to | ||
advance conservation across the Lone Star State, and although he | ||
will be deeply missed by those he left behind, his contributions | ||
will continue to resonate in the years to come; now, therefore, be | ||
it | ||
