Biography of Mason A. Clark

Born in the north woods of the nation's most beautiful state, Wisconsin. But at home in the magnificent Kickapoo valley of southwest Wisconsin. Grew up between a corn field and an apple orchard on the northwest Chicago city limit (one mile and thirty years from Hilary's home).

Four years in the U.S. Navy; taught radio at Chicago primary school for radio/radar technicians; then was the Chief Electronic Technicians Mate of Torpedo Squadron 4.
Here is a book about VT4 by one of the pilots.

Moved to the formerly beautiful Santa Clara Valley of California, once a valley of fruit orchards, now widely known as the Silicon Valley. Some say it's still beautiful. Some say it's too damned expensive to live here. They're right but after 40 years it grows on you.
