Oldest son of [[walter_clarke_randall|Walter Clarke Randall]] and [[shirley_patricia_ann_brady|Shirley Patricia "Patt" Ann Brady]], Richard Clarke Randall, known to friends and family as “Rick”, was born in Toccoa (Stephens County), Georgia on January 17, 1959. | Oldest son of [[walter_clarke_randall|Walter Clarke Randall]] and [[shirley_patricia_ann_brady|Shirley Patricia "Patt" Ann Brady]], Richard Clarke Randall, known to friends and family as “Rick”, was born in Toccoa (Stephens County), Georgia on January 17, 1959. |

Initially, Rick's family lived in a house built above his grandfathers welding company (at 119 Brady St., Toccoa, GA 30577-1803), where both his father and mother worked. The welding company was owned by [[ernest_lawton_brady|Ernest Lawton Brady]] (his mother's father). During his early childhood, the family had a black & White TV (with no remote control). Rick primarily remembered Clarke watching "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat!_(TV_series)|Combat!]]" (1962-1967) and the family watching "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jackie_Gleason_Show|The Jackie Gleason Show]]" (re-runs). But his favorite TV show was "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mister_Ed|Mr. Ed]]" (1958-1966). One of Rick's earliest memories was watching news coverage of the assassination of President [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_John_F._Kennedy|John F. Kennedy]] (on November 22, 1963)... and the following Presidential funeral. Although just over 4 years old, this had an impact on Rick... just as it did the entire nation. | Initially, Rick's family lived in a house built above his grandfathers welding company (at 119 Brady St., Toccoa, GA 30577-1803), where both his father and mother worked.

| For four years Rick was the only grandchild, so he spend many days... and weekends... visiting his grandparents, [[walter_baxter_randall|Walter Baxter "Dub" Randall]] & Sara Ann Clarke Randall (affectionately known as "Mama Sarah")in at their home on Rainbow Drive, Lavonia, GA; which was about 30 minutes away from his home in Toccoa, GA. Rick continued to spend time with his grandparents for a few years after his brother, Mark was born. During his time with [[walter_baxter_randall|Walter Baxter "Dub" Randall]] & Sara Ann Clarke Randall, he was "treated" to traditional farmer meals... often consisting of Collard Greens, Black Eyed Peas, Corn Bread, and Mama Sarah's "Sweet Green Tomato Pickles" ({{ :richard_clarke_randall:school_girl_pickle.pdf | "Sliced Green Tomato Pickles" recipe}}). Rick especially enjoyed a mixture of Black Eyed Pea mixed with torn pieces of Corn Bread and doused with "Sweet Green Tomato Pickle" juice. |

After the birth of his brother, [[walter_mark_randall|Walter Mark Randall]], Clarke built a house 1 block away at 158 Patsy Drive, Toccoa, GA 30577. The family moved there when Rick was about 7 years old (during 1966). After moving to Patsy Drive, the family bought a color TV with a remote control. Rick enjoyed watching such TV shows as (at this time there was no cable TV... only antenna TV): "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rifleman|The Rifleman]]" (1958-1963, re-runs), "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beverly_Hillbillies|The Beverly Hillbillies]]" (1962-1971), "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_Theater|Shock Theater]]" (1963-1966, on Saturday afternoons), "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outer_Limits_(1963_TV_series)|The Outer Limits]]" (1963-1965, re-runs), "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Munsters|The Munsters]]" (1964-1966), "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipper_(1964_TV_series)|Flipper]]" (1964-1967), "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyage_to_the_Bottom_of_the_Sea_(TV_series)|Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea]]" (1964-1968), "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_Troop|F Troop]]" (1965-1967), "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_in_Space|Lost in Space]]" (1965-1968), "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Time_Tunnel|The Time Tunnel]]" (1966-1967), "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogan%27s_Heroes|Hogan's Heros]]" (1965-1971), "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rat_Patrol|The Rat Patrol]]" (1966-1968), and of course, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek|Star Trek]]" (1966-1969). | After the birth of his brother, [[walter_mark_randall|Walter Mark Randall]], Clarke built a house 1 block away at 158 Patsy Drive, Toccoa, GA 30577.
