After graduating from WMU, Clare went to work for Uniroyal and became manager of Industrial Engineering at their Stoughton, Wisconsin plant.
"While in Stoughton, I worked evenings on my MBA at UW Whitewater with tuition aid from Uniroyal. I believe I was the first Uniroyal employee to secure an advanced degree entirely through their tuition aid program," Clare said.
From Uniroyal, Clare became the first Product Manager for Recycled Fibers at Garden State Paper Company, and twenty two years later retired from that same company as Vice President for Procurement.
Pat also completed a Master's degree in teaching at UW Whitewater. They have been married for 52 years, and together have two children, three grandchildren, and will very soon become Great- Grandparents.
