I'm so sorry to hear about Clyde's passing. We both went to Mizzou and worked at the Hartford Times. He was a student at Little Rock Central High School in 1957 when the federal government forced its desegregation. After the Times folded, he and his family moved to the DC area, which is where my wife and I last saw them. He wrote four novels, of which I've read three. I did not know he had a fourth book published in 2015. I did not know he was living in Nashua, NH, and can only deduce that from the location of the funeral home.
