A well written article giving an insight of some of the earlier times of Cliff’s life and his family. As his father-in-law, we knew both his Mom and Dad well. Mannie, forever the entrepreneur, was a character of note and we shared many happy times together. I think it was so typical of Mannie to prepare Cliff for whatever life threw at him, a job he did well. A great Article and I look forward to more from Cliff.
