Eugene Edward Clark

I'm so sad to learn this. Eugene Clark was a true Renaissance man. He was also a disciple of Christ. He filled the role of father for me when I really didn't have one. He taught me physics, geology, and was the high school (MVHS '96) film club advisor for me when I started the club. He opened my eyes to Orson Welles, Sergei Eisenstein, and the Marx Brothers. Because of him, I got a graduate degree in film history. He tutored me along the path when I waivered in high school, as he allowed me...

please accept my heartfelt condolences. may you find comfort from God's loyal love.

I love Mr. Clark. I fell in love with physics and earned a degree in physics because of his infectious enthusiasm for science and his incredible teaching ability. God bless him.

Also, I feel like I should be surprised that on top of everything else he was a spy for the CIA, yet somehow I'm not surprised. What a man!

My condolences to his family and loved ones for their loss. Hopefully it helps a little to know how many random high school students' lives were transformed...

Loved Mr. Clark. He was such a great educator and a committed teacher. He always had a great sense of humor along with an amazingly fast mind. I still remember many of his thoughtful lessons in class.
I graduated in the late 90's and have thought of him and his classes many times since.
The CIA affiliation was a fun detail to learn but not wholly surprising.

The best teacher I've ever had was Mr. Clark. I've never had a teacher show the same passion for the subject that he taught, and have it be so completely contagious. He cared for his students deeply, and I couldn't take enough classes from him. And every one of them I learned far deeper than any other subject. To this day I can tell you what kind of minerals are in a particular specimen of granite, or if a rock is slate or shale, or any other manner of rock classification (including...

Mr. Clark is a huge part of who I am today. He helped focus my love of science from merely the dreams of SF towards practicality and scholarship. He will be sorely missed. I wish him Godspeed.

I never officially thanked him for the scholarship he got me. So thank you. I've always looked up to him and can only hope that I become as good a man as him.

He was a wonderful, caring teacher. We love Mr. Clark and thank him for the time he gave to teach us about Geology and life! He was a wonderful example and influence.

Mr Clark was a great source of inspiration in many if not all of my engineering projects over the last decade! I would love to find a way to read those CIA journals. I am a big fan of Mr Clark. His memory lives on in the hearts of hundreds and hundreds of his students.
