Clem was born right here in RI and has made his home up the road from me in Woonsocket (also the home of HOFer Nap Lajoie). My wife goes to the same hairdresser as Clem's wife.

One day she brought in a treasured family photo to show--from the early '50s when Clem came up as a rookie w/ the Dodgers. He had Jackie sign it to him personally back then so he could have a special memento as to having played w/ him.

I was able to get a copy made for myself and altho the photo has been seen before, the original w/ the inscription "To Clem" remains w/ the Labine family.
