Claude Goodloe

I wanted each of our classmates to have some biographical information on their page beside their Senior Portrait.  This is the best I could find to share with you about Claude and Ruby Goodloe.  They came to Clinton and they were living with a guardian.  The best I can remember it was a house on Clinton Boulevard.

Claude was born in Mississippi on January 23, 1948 and died on November 26, 1970 in San Diego, California.  He must have lived in Texas prior to coming to Mississippi.  He was issued a social security card in Texas in 1964.  He joined the military, probably Navy, on October 7, 1970 and was released on November 26, 1970, which is also his date of death, which was also Thanksgiving Day that year.  I have been unable to locate an obituary or gravesite anywhere.  He is not listed on the Viet Nam Wall though it has been rumored that he died in Viet Nam.

If any of you know anything different than what I have written please feel free to share.
