I dated Clem a couple of times a few years before his passing. I found him to be sweet and a little sad, but tragically a man out of his time when it came to what constituted gentlemanly behavior around women.

Tallulah was a force to be reckoned with. I was not surprised that Clem followed her soon after her passing.

I'm glad to have known them both, however briefly, and I grieve what might have been if only he'd treated me with more respect for my person. But he gave me a gift which I will always cherish: He told me I was beautiful, and somehow I actually believed him.
