Gee I am at a loss for words......unusal for me. Mike and I went to school togather back in Jr High, we very competitve---tuff guys. We finally had one those deals where we couldn't back away so we had a fight and shortly after the crew split up some and I haven't ssen him sense. I have always talked about him and in my heart wanted to apologize for that deal. Dad and Mom kept me up on what he was doing in life---I just didn't know that he Barnsdal....so close. He appears he had great life that blessed with a large family---14 grandchildren and 6 great ones...wow....I am sorry for for your loss--there's just 13 days different our ages and I know I'm still young and want to pass things on to the next generation....maybe ya'll were close enough that you passed on much of his knowledge to you. He was great guy---not really good at math but we certainly and totally understood girl watching. The best part when ever we move or was out in public we had put up with a lot bulling from people but with Mike I was never caught flat footed--we covered each others back really good but that's what doodle-buggers sons did--stood up for each other and others were working with our parents. I have my prayers and hope to one cross paths with some of you and exchange some storys....if there's anything the Clarks do for any one of you---just let us know and we do our best.....He was a hell of guy and dad said he grew a HELL of a good man....just wish I knew that he was Barnsdal---so close...........Robert Clark
