Old Film:: Lionel Bruce Clark (my father)
My father was Lionel Bruce Clark (1933 – 2000), born in Forster Street in the Launceston suburb of Invermay (colloquially known as The Swamp). He was, in many ways, a hard and complex character much like his father William Lionel Clark. This photograph of my father was made around 1950. I scanned the image from a 6cm x 9cm film negative, made by his mother Elvie Ruth Bonner (1901-1986). She included herself as the shadow.
