This was one of the first Chess Challenge games where the club switched from exclusively ladder games to the new Chess Challenge system in 1998:  you can view the notes in Games with Notes ( to be added later 2-2010)  Clark per USCF records climbed to just below "A" Class and his last noted tournament was in 2003.
