A Rodeo King

Clark was born in November 1927 in Graham, Oklahoma. Following his passion for the rodeo, Clark went on to hold the record as the youngest competitor in the Pendleton Roundup at just 19 years old. It wasn’t long before he was a champion steer roper with three world championships (1957, 1958, 1961) under his belt. His whirlwind of a successful career will be remembered for decades to come.

A Memorable Honor

While talking with Tulsa World, Susie admired her days with her father and all he taught the children.

“They don’t make them like him anymore. He worked from daylight to dusk.” McEntire continued, “And he and Mama instilled that in us kids…being on time is being 30 minutes early. You worked until your work is done, and you do a great job so that they will want you back.”

Not only is induction a huge honor for Clark, but his entire family who are thrilled to attend.
