Posted at 01:26h, 13 DecemberI was fortunate to meet Clifford in my younger years in Corbin. My bonus dad, Jasper Scott, introduced me to him. As I was scrolling through these today, I recognized his picture and the name. It has been so many years but I remember I’m telling me about his work at NASA. As a young boy, it was awesome. So sorry for the families loss. Heaven, I’m sure gained a fine man. I was so fortunate to be apart of the Scott family. I really cherish my years growing up with many of them. RIP Clifford.
