Clark was the youngest of 15 children born to Franklin Levi Camp and Katherine Holcomb Camp. As a child, they called him Clarke. Clark served in the Navy during World War II as a cook aboard ship in Hawaii in the South Pacific Theater.
According to Clark, he stayed in Hawaii the entire duration of his service with the Navy because his commanding officer refused to send any of his men overseas to fight if they had a wife or child, even though Clark asked to be released to go fight.
Also, according to Clark, worked for a company in Baltimore, Maryland and designed a circuitry that would handle extreme hot and cold for the first Apollo Flight. into space. He had a copy of it encased in clear resin.
