I just looked up his name on my computer and found that Chan Clark died in 2017. I roomed with him in 1957-59 in New York City after we graduated from Cornell Law School. I am now 91 and live with my daughter Allison Turner in Palm Harbor Florida. I actually dated his wife Judith Southerton before he married her. My email is [email protected]

I fondly remember the wonderful evenings at Chan and Judy's house in Woodbridge,CT, where, after kriya, we would all sit around the table for a wonderful meal and fellowship. It warms my heart to think back to the generosity, humor, and openness with which we all were received. Life in this area has not been the same since Chan and July moved away from CT. I also recall the times spent at the lake house in Canada, near the retreat center. My heart is so sad: I just learned a few moments ago that Chan passed on January 31. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Chan was one of the wisest people it has been my privilege to know. During our time together over many years in Bethany he taught me many things, especially the true meaning of lawyer as counsellor. He was a blessing to many. Peter and Caron
