Clyde was a proud graduate of Auburn University (then known as Alabama Polytechnic Institute) and worked his entire career as an aeronautical engineer at the NASA Langley Research Center Full Scale Tunnel. Besides his family, church and work, there was his great love of golf. He played for many years with a great bunch of men every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at the Woodlands Golf Course in Hampton. This physical regimen of walking the course plus the social interactions with his friends contributed to his well-lived long life.
