Remembering Clayton: "I'm Alright"

Remembering Clayton: “I’m Alright” Staying positive as possible and trying to focus on the bright side of things is a quality we all strive to have. Brother Clayton possessed this quality and he showed it well. What I admired most about Clayton is this: While coping with a medical condition throughout the years, Clayton’s personality would shine brighter than his ailment. Several years ago, Clayton attended a book talk event at John J. Wright Educational and Cultural Center in Spotsylvania, Virginia. After the event I thanked Clayton for coming and then I asked him how he was doing, and he simply replied, “I’m alright.” A couple weeks ago, I found out that Brother Clayton Ellis is now in Heaven. I’ll never forget his special quality, something I’m constantly working on. – Randolph Randy Camp (Photo: December 2017, Book Talk Event at John J. Wright Educational and Cultural Center.
