"Terryl" -- now that's an unusual name. Where else have I seen that lately? Well, what do you know --
http://ieet.org/index.php/IEET/csr Changesurfer Radio "Becoming Gods" (in two parts) Dr. J. chats with Terryl Givens, professor of Literature and Religion at the University of Richmond and a scholar of Mormon theology. They discuss the doctrine of theosis, the Mormon Transhumanist Association, and the Mormon church's position on women, homosexuality, and race.
I haven't Googled Terryl Clark, but -- wanna make a bet?
There's a guy on the Web named Wes Clark (no relation, presumably), who has an extremely entertaining site called "Avocado Memories", which documents his childhood in the 70s growing up in Burbank, California. It was only some years after discovering his site that I noticed that he too is a Mormon -- he keeps it pretty low profile. (I can't imagine he was raised Mormon -- it doesn't seem to fit with his descriptions of childhood and of his parents -- but at any rate his wife seems to be Mormon, and they're raising their kids in the church -- having them serve missions, the whole nine yards.)
But here's some amusing stuff from Mr. Clark and his wife about Mormon names:
"What's In a (Utah) Name" and "The Utah Baby Namer" (An online help for parents looking for that distinctive name that says "I'm a Utah Mormon!") http://wesclark.com/ubn/
OK, I've Googled. Ms. Clark isn't a "Terryl" after all, she's a "Tarryl" http://action.tarrylclark.com/page/s/defeatbachmann?gclid=COjcwuGi5KQCFdJL5QodmU-zMw
