"He is a man of his word"

A woman who knows Clay through Clay's work at the Raleigh YMCA left this post on a Clay fan group.

From kimpossible at Heartful House Clay group:

I used to observe Clay as my kid's Y counselor. I watched how he treated
people. I saw his modesty (about his talent). I saw his humor and intelligence. I
saw his joy at helping kids grow to be responsible Christians. I saw him pray.
I listened to a lengthy talk he gave all the parents and kids concerning his
father death and God's place in his life (I cried!). I watched his interaction
with the high quality individuals he chose to be friends with. He was very
strict with the kids--not bad language, rowdy behavior or off color remarks.
Everytime I talked with him he was respectful, and deserving of my respect. He
came across as a very straight (woman loving!) very devoute man. I was glad my
kid was in his camp for so many years. He was a wonderful influence.

I am not saying he was a saint, I am saying that his goodness was not just a
figment of the Claymates imaginitions. He is a man of his word.
