saysI remember Clint and his brother Bud from when I was a child. Clint was already an adult and we attended the same church. Many years later, I got to know Carrie when my wife and I made many trips to the restaurant she and Mike owned. We always went there for lunch on our anniversary (now 53 years). I never had a problem being one of the two men who were allowed inside at the same time. Carrie was great and so was the food. As a kid, seventeen years younger than Clint, I really enjoyed seeing him and Bud each Sunday.
