Reflections for Sergeant Clarence R. Nordyke
My Grandfather a man of mankind. You can tell of his pictures. I only knew of him of 3 years but I remember Him. And all the Rangers of Company B. I am 72 years old and live in Austin, Texas. I often visit his place of Death going to a trial. And of course going to Ranger Company B Station.
