The News-Press’ own weekly “Our Man in Arlington” columnist, Charlie Clark, will be one of seven Yorktown High School graduates to be inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame and Inspiration this Friday, May 18. The ceremony will take place at Yorktown’s Patriot Hall (5200 Yorktown Blvd., Arlington) at 7 p.m.

A graduate of the Class of 1971, Clark is a columnist, journalist and local historian who’s authored two books, including last year’s “Hidden History of Arlington,” as well as multiple articles on Arlington history.

At the ceremony, Clark will receive a dedicated plaque with a photograph and biography that will be mounted in the gym’s lobby.
