He later had stints teaching at Hillsville High School, Lee and Stonewall Jackson Junior High schools, and Check Elementary School. In the mid 1970’s Reggie started Clark’s Hilltop Nursery. Since that time, hundreds of thousands of his Fraser Fir Christmas trees have graced homes during the holiday season.
