Vince Clerk was one of my mentors when I started my teaching career. He always had words of wisdom and humor to share. He was a wonderful teacher and really cared for his students. His lovely wife and independent bright children made CKPrice a better place. I think of you, Vince, whenever I use the pen you gifted me when I retired. Be at peace, you deserve the rest. You will be remembered.Thank you.
