Not sure what to say?

Clay was our band leader and driver for the Chestnut Hill Boys band when we were graduate students at Purdue University in the late 1960's. Wonderful memories.

My apologies for so tardily noting Clayton's passing, and my condolences to Carol. I never went to many symposia, so my one meeting with Clayton was circa 1981, when he traveled to General Dynamics in San Diego to look at the shielding effectiveness work we were doing on the Tomahawk, using a reverberant chamber. I was impressed at how Clayton was interested in all the details, and how easy he was to talk with. Strange how some people project a positive aura; just one day yet I can vividly...

I recall my meet with Prof Clayton in 1990 at IEEE-EMC symposium. He was founding IEEE-EMC Education programme and as a member whatever suggestions made by me he accpeted and appreciated. Well informed teacher and great EMC engineer. I pray for his soul rest in peace

I worked with Clayton as a contractor while he was a RADC in the 70s on an EMC effort. Clayton always had a smile on his face and getting the effort technically correct was always his goal. Although I had no other contacts with Clayton, except one phone call while he was cancer stricken, he was one of the top experts in the EMC community. His achievements are well recognized. Technology is missing one of the good ones.

I just read of Clayton's passing in the Georgia Tech Alumni Magazine. Clayton taught my first EE course at Tech in 1966. He was the most influential instructor I ever had, setting me on the right path for a successful engineering career. I owe Clayton more than can be expressed in words. Ironically, I recently thought of him and vowed to locate him and write to say thanks for the extreme impact he had on my life. Just goes to show things shouldn't be put off too long. Please accept my thanks...

Dr. Paul was my advisor while I was a student at the University of Kentucky. He encouraged me to stick with engineering at one point when I was struggling with my future career path. I've been in the engineering field for over 20 years now and I love my job. It wouldn't have happend had Dr. Paul not encourged me those many years ago. I will always be thankful for that.

I have only met Dr. Paul twice. On one of those occasions I had purchased one of his books and he signed it for me. Clayton would not be able to pick me out of a police line-up so I could not say I was even an acquaintance. But because of the work he has done in EMC I am able to do my job better. He will be remembered a long time in the academic and engineering circles which he walked.

I am very fortunate to be introduced to Dr. Paul in 2002. Over the years I and my colleagues at Panasonic EMC lab had attended all his seminars at Atlanta area. It is Dr. Paul's super star quality that revived the local IEEE EMC chapter ! What amazes me is the immense positive energy radiating from him: his passion for education and compassion toward every one around him are manifesto of a great soul. Like other great man before him, he has made a dent to the universe.

Hi Carol,

I don't think we ever met but I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to Clayton via you.

I knew of him, but then got to know him at the Detroit Symposium. He was teaching a section on Pspice and I had never used it before. I took the EMC University program specifically for Clayton's class.

Some people questioned why I was taking a class on EMC after working in it for more than 40 years and even teaching class on EMC design. Well you are...
