Kirkland resident Stu Clarke was an inspiration | LETTER


March 28, 2012 · Updated 1:21 PM 

Your story about Stu Clarke in the Kirkland Reporter dated Aug. 8, 2011 by Rachel Harris caught my eye when I was searching the internet for Stu Clarke.

Stu was my former scout master while I was attending junior high school in Hong Kong. I was one of his scouts in Troop 1, Hong Kong 1977-1978.

He took us on 50 mile backpacking trips to Taiwan and Korea.  He was the inspiration for my love of the outdoors and finally achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.
