They’ve reconnected recently after 50 years. Clif is Head basketball coach at Clackamas Community College. Cameron is a semi-retired news videographer who currently does work for the PAC12 Network.
Doug Bates, Editor Emeritus for The Herald remembers Clif: “I have followed Clif’s career ever since he was a standout student and star athlete at Oakridge High School. He went on to become a distinguished educator and tremendously successful coach. We finally met about 20 years ago, and I am proud to be his friend and share his Upper Willamette roots.”
