Clark Gilbert Myers ’51

CLARK DIED suddenly at his home in Moultonboro, N.H. Nov. 5, 1990. The sum of his life was straightforward. the substance was quite different. In brief, he was born in Cambridge, Mass., graduated cum laude from Deerfield and Princeton, majored in history, was a member of Quadrangle, roomed with Lee Tozzer, and was active in N.R.O.T.C.

A book could be written about Clark's career. He joined the Navy and served in Korea. A twoyear tour of duty in Japan followed and he retired in 1956 as a It. commander, U.S.N.R.

For the next 24 years, he was in the C.I.A. He was fluent in German and Russian and was a senior intelligence specialist in European and Soviet affairs. When Clark retired in 1980, the C.I.A. awarded him its Career Intelligence Medal. He and his family then moved to Moultonboro and he became deeply involved in local land management and land conservation, the town's library, historical society and school board.

Many people praised Clark at his funeral: admirals, former C.I.A. friends, Princeton alumni, townspeople and neighbors. They all spoke to this remarkable man's accomplishments in so many endeavors.

Clark is survived by his widow, Suzita; sons, Clark and Christopher; daughter, Diana '76; brothers, Lyman, Gilbert, and Fraser; and his father, Gilbert Barlow Myers (U.S.N.A. '21).
