To you remaining Clark ladies I would like to express my condolences rsph and I had a lot of fun over the years at bowling tournaments and talking about Denny diler and Cooper at the 42 club he provided a smile and strong urge to laugh. My opinion truck drivers are the cowboys of today out there alone getting things done and it's not an easy life. I am so sorry Judy and ladies and thank you Ralph for the memories.i miss you buddy.
