Thomas, Winters and Newton in Austin, thanked Ambassador Clark
for all that he has done for the Association over the years, includ-
ing service on the Development Committee, the Executive Council, as
president, and for his continuing role as an Honorary Life Member of
the Executive Council. J. P. Bryan gave a touching tribute to Clark and
his father, J. P. Bryan, Sr., who worked closely together over a num-

they both served as regents. Lieutenant Governor William P. Hobby re-

friend," and Congressman J. J. (Jake) Pickle completed the program
with a poignant recollection of Mrs. Clark's and the Ambassador's con-
tributions over a period of more than half a century.

member, advisor, officer, and friend, A. Frank Smith, Jr. Multi-talented
