      I met Clay and Mary at the 1988 Family Reunion. Clay and cousin Dice Armstrong enjoyed reminiscing that day and he told me he was the last person to ever throw Dice in a wrestling match. Dice came to his own defence by saying Clay was 2 ys older than him and that was the only reason he was able to do such a thing.
