Henry Clay Myers, Jr. (May 27, 1927 – October 29, 2004) was an American politician who, during his career, was considered one of Oregon's most influential moderate Republicans, together with his contemporaries, Tom McCall and Mark Hatfield.〔Esteve, Harry. "Public servant Clay Myers Dies." ''The Oregonian,'' October 31, 2004, D1.〕 ==Early life== Born in Portland, Myers' childhood was spent in the coastal community of Tillamook, Oregon. He resided with his family briefly in Zimbabwe (known as Southern Rhodesia at the time) when he was 10 and in a 2004 interview with ''The Oregonian'' described it as "a mind-blowing experience." They lived miles from the nearest white family, and Myers said that he learned an enduring lesson in the futility of racism. () A graduate of Portland's Benson High School (1945), Myers went on to the University of Oregon, where he founded the Zeta Omicron Chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha (ZO 009), led the Young Republicans, and promoted student involvement in elections, campaigns and political issues. He studied law at Northwestern College of Law in Portland and attended the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut.() Before entering politics, he pursued a business career in banking and insurance. Myers and his wife Elizabeth had three children, Carolyn, David, and Richard Clay. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「H. Clay Myers, Jr.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
