Tri-Met Operator
of the Month
Curies ( lark's youthful look belies
his 48 years I n M et's O ctober
Operator ol the Month credits fishing
trips to eastern O regon and
W ashington lor his ability to relax
front what may appear to be an easy
job. "but really is a rough one.”
"I like my work, though." the nor
theast Portland resident claimed in a
recent interview, "my attendance
record is proof ol th a t'" Clark has
near-perlect attendance.
( lark lives in his N.E. I4th Ave.
home with his wile, I rancyma, and
three of their live children. H e’s
worked at Tri Met for the past I 5
years and, before that, for the Port
land Traction Com pany. When
asked why he applied lor work as an
operator, he said, “
tor better pav,
and to work inside."
"A nother bus driver and I, Irving
Brown, both came over from P o rt
land Traction together. W e'd been
furloughed, and they even wanted us
to ciune back to work. There was no
way we were going back outdoors!
( lark said Brown was a frequent
fishing partner in their quest for
sturgeon and pan fish. "I'm going to
take a trip to Boardman this coming
weekend," ( lark announced "I do
it, not only because ol what you get to
eat. but because it’s a good way to
relax."
Taking a low profile, laid back at
titude is something ( lark said he
inherited from his patents " I hey still
live in ( olton Plant, Arkansas where
I grew up I hey were sharecroppers,
but that type ol larm life is disap
pearing with the corporate owtiers "
( latk was one ol lout boys and
three girls in his family. He moved to
( fregon m 1959.
W hen asked about his philosophy
as a bus operator, ( lark said he says
" H e llo " to passengers readily but
doesn't start conversations " I hat
keeps us all out ol trouble W hen
someone says something uncalled for
on the bus, I usually d o n ’t answer.
I hat generally ends it right there!”
Clark observed that passengers are
usually more frazzled in the afternoon
than they are in the morning. Usually,
they are cheery or quiet in the mor
mng, but the afternoon is a time when
something may have happened at
work that sometimes gets to them, he
pointed out.
It’s obvious
that
C lark 's
philosophy of being happy at what he
docs and doing what he docs well at
fects his relationship with his riders.
"In all my 15 years of driving," ( lark
noted, "I'v e never had a cross word
or an argument with a passenger."
