California, which is probably about 90 miles from the Oregon border. He was a great mechanic. He worked at the garage there on Main Street in Red Buff. Everybody would ask for him. I remember during the 50s, then a very popular western singer, Jimmy Wakeley, when he stopped and came through, he always asked for Clyde to work on his car. Nobody else. He wouldn't put up with anybody else touching his car with the big, long horns on the hood. Anyway, Dad taught me a lot about old fishing and horses and the care of them and so much. He also built a home that was built from scratch. I mean, he didn't have a car.
