Father Of Mitchell Clark Passes Away At Age 75

I would say that everyone of us Old Time IBMers remember Mitchell Clark's father Bruce. A truly nice man and co-worker. I was quite surprised to see that one of his sons lives right here in Fairfax and in fact is a rather close neighbor of mine. Our sympathy goes out to Mitchell and his family on the death of their father Bruce.
