"Shorty" Clyde, was a twin to Vydell "Fat" as everyone in Bryson Texas knew them...Shorty had mastoid problems as a child. The Dr drilled a hole behind one ear in his skull, but he was completely deaf in that ear. He always followed Fat into whatever trouble they could get in and out of.
His eyes were brown not blue as Fats. There was always a smile on his face for all the children around him. He would share his bounty with us kids, a quarter here and there and a trip to the town drug store at Bryson for the best milkshake in the world.
He was a fisherman and loved the great outdoors, he owned a small 14 foot boat with a 1956 Wizard 12 horsepower motor which he highly prized. He was a simple man, farmed for folks around Jack County Texas his whole life. He loved coon dogs, chicken fried steak and french fries. He would stop in at the Dairy Queen where I worked and talk in his later years...He was a fun uncle...
