I worked for Captain Myers in the Philippines. He taught me so much about how to deal respectfully with all people. He led by example and was highly respected by everyone at PWTC. He wrote letters of recommendation for me for graduate school and jobs. His influence extended throughout my career, and I think often of him and his family. Clay Myers and I had many discussions about what it means to leave a legacy. While his was in bricks and mortar, it was also a legacy of character. I appreciate his influence on my life.
Clay was a valued member of George Washington University’s part-time faculty for many years. He was a very capable and caring instructor. In recent years he regularly taught a course for the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department. Our students benefited from his extensive experience in contracts and specifications. He used his experience overseas and with the World Bank to open a window to the students onto construction contracting throughout the world. He was a thoughtful and generous colleague. I will miss him.
