He is a veteran, serving three years and three months of active duty in the Army and went on to spend 10 years in the Army Reserves, the National Guard, and Air National Guard. Besides volunteering for AARP, both He and his wife (Stella), serve on the Board of Directors for Life Link of Sheridan County, is a member of the VFW Auxiliary, and serves on a committee overseeing the Sagebrush Community Garden. Clarence’s talents at setting up charity golf tournaments have benefitted seven different organizations, including AARP Wyoming.

She has also volunteered with the Wyoming Alzheimer’s Association, coordinated health fairs and conducted dementia workshops.
