This is where he ran his dairy cattle and later beef cattle operation until his demise. Clint retired from teaching in 1986. In the mid 1970's, Clint and Social Studies teacher Jennifer Maxwell wrote a book entitled, "Kids, Cops, Courts, and the Law". The book was used throughout Montana, other states and other countries in schools as an educational tool for students to learn about law. Clint's main passion in life was his cows.
