: If I read this correctly, Pop Clifton graduated from high school : at the age of 15. Awesome. Probably took a cheerleader to the prom. : Whatta stud. Stud indeed. I'm glad to be married to a man of such talent and experience -- though so far as I know, his experiences do not include promming with cheerleaders.
