On April 22, 1931, Clarence was born in a little farmhouse on the northeast edge of Wichita Falls, TX. His family taught him a work ethic that carried throughout his life as well as his three siblings'. He attended City View Elementary School during the WW 2 era where he proudly shares the story of being a janitor of his school to earn a little extra money, five dollars a month. At that time his mom drove the school bus. After attending Wichita Falls High School, Mr. Shook furthered his education at Midwestern University and later joined the military service where he served overseas. Clarence
