Roy and Janet played dominoes with my folks almost every week for years, alternating between our home and theirs
Raymond, the fourth child, was the only Clinton with any money or consistent involvement in politicsHe had been part of the GI reform effort after World War II, although he wasnt in the service himself Corky, was the only one who was younger than IHe literally became a rocket scientist, with a distinguished career at NASA
Mother always had an ambiguous relationship with Raymond, because he liked to run everything and because, with Daddys drinking, we often needed his help more that she wanted itWhen we first moved to Hot Springs, we even went to Uncle Raymonds church, First Presbyterian, though Mother was at least a nominal BaptistThe pastor back then, the Reverend Overholser, was a remarkable man who produced two equally remarkable daughters: Nan Keohane, who became president of Wellesley, Hillarys alma mater, and then the first woman president of Duke University |
