Andrew Elborn Clements
WEST BALDWIN - Andrew Elborn Clements passed away early in the morning on Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2019, at his home with his family.
He was born in Camden, New Jersey, on May 29, 1949, the third of six children born to William Denney (Bill) Clements and Doris Kruse Clements. The family moved west to Springfield, Illinois, when Andrew was in the sixth grade, and enrolled the children in the local schools.
He graduated from Springfield High School in 1967, where he was Class President. He often spoke of the excellent instruction and encouragement he received there during his senior year from his English teacher, Mrs. Bernice Rappel.
This resource is a novel study based on the story by Andrew Clements - 'The Jacket'.
She recognized his gift for writing, and sent him off to college "feeling like I was a pretty good writer."
Bill and Doris loved family, and they loved Maine. The Bell family, on Doris's side, had built a Victorian summer cottage on Barker Pond in Hiram, Maine, which they named "Cumango".
