...shared his passion. “Not many people are interested in carpentry at Harvard,” he says. “I like working with my hands. It’s unusual to be able to do that at Harvard.” Despite this isolation, Clark rose to the enormous challenge of filling in the technical gaps in HRDC’s often ambitious projects. “Theater technicians are like water.
