CLINT MATTRISCH
If you open up our freshman yearbook and turn to the M's, you'll see this behemoth.
I don't know where Clint came from. But freshman year, there he was. He looked like a big oaf. In fact, if memory serves, he seemed big, dumb and stupid. But who knows? He was a hefty guy. I believe Clint was a regular member of Washington's special education classes. I never had him in any class myself. I didn't really care to. He seemed like a guy one would simply want to avoid.
The only real memory I have of Clint actually comes from Meff, not me. The two of them shared homeroom together. On the first day of school, as Meff sat down, Clint came up to him and said, "You can roll a Rolo to your friend." And with that, he did in fact roll a Rolo to him. Perhaps that was Clint's way of reaching out. Perhaps he was trying to lay the groundwork for a long-lasting friendship. I don't know. The two of them didn't become friends.
After freshman year, Clint was gone. I think he moved to Wisconsin Rapids. As an adult, he has left a trail of felony convictions, for a variety of charges - stolen property, battery, weapons violations... Clint has been to prison. For the past several years, I think Clint has resided in Florida. I don't know if he's ever been married.
UPDATE - 6/6/06 - Below is a mugshot from Clint's 2003 arrest in Florida. Follow the link to his arrest page. If I'm reading it correctly, he was charged with battery, kidnapping, and a few other things. It looks like he was released from prison in 2004. I hope all is well with him now. ARREST PAGE 1 ARREST PAGE 2
UPDATE - 6/6/06 - #2 - Well, it looks like I don't know how to read a rap sheet. Clint was released from one facility, and sent to another. Those convicitions did seem pretty severe to have been released after just over one year. It's always a shame to discover that someone from your past has gone down a road like this. It's a pity that someone, somewhere along the line couldn't have helped him. Based on his youth troubles and his time spent in a group home, it's clear that the young man needed some guidance. It's sad. I hope that once he's released, he can find it within himself to make better choices in his life. There are still many years of living ahead of him. Anyway, Clint is currently incarcerated in Apalachee West Correctional, in Florida. His tentative release date is sometime in 2012 or 2013. I believe what you're looking at is Clint's mugshot from 2003, the list of charges, then two recent prison photos.
UPDATE - 7/20/07 - Clint has now been moved to another facility. If you wish to write to him, you can do so at the following address.
MATTRISCH, CLINT – INMATE #D84213
MADISON CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION
382 SW MCI WAY
MADISON, FL

Before doing so, you might want to verify that he is still htere, as inmates tend to be moved around from one facility to another. You can confirm where he's staying on this website - FLORIDA INMATES

Thanks for the comment Edna. I'm glad to know that Clint is doing well.
i love burton and his happy mama, you freaks....
Okay, everybody chill. Edna, this isn't worth getting upset over. Burt's a good guy. He's a little freaky, sure. But you're uncle was a little freaky, too. Nothing wrong with that. He was also a good guy.
There's a risk involved anytime you post sensitive stuff on the net. Like if you post opinions about someone, that someone or his relatives might read it. I've warned Burt about this.
That said, Burt's words were that Clint *seemed* big and kinda dumb. That's not so bad. And really, he seemed that way. Maybe that's not an accurate impression. But it's what he seemed like. I see nothing wrong with someone posting vague and pointless anecdotes about childhood acquaintances, even in a public forum. Burt didn't lie or post anything that isn't a matter of public record. Nothing harmful has been said here.
Edna, you will achieve nothing by furthering this discussion. Let it go.
Wifey nor myself were never intimidated by your comments. Rambling narratives filled with expletives do nothing more than bemuse.
You obviously didn't follow her train of thought, despite how clear it was.
I have no problem with your opinions. I welcome them. But your comments were based on an emotional outburst. Dragging an innocent spouse and innocent children into an attack on me makes you look incredibly foolish. No offense, but you're not really qualified to offer an opinion on any of us. But you can offer an opinion on your uncle. And you can offer an opinion on my writings. That's fine. That's honest.
You called me a freak and a psycho. My wife has worked with real freaks and psychos. People with Masters' Degrees in psychology sometimes get jobs like that. And she more than you can judge whether or not someone is in fact a freak or a psycho. I can tell you point blank that those terms don't accurately describe me. But my voice might not carry much weight, as I'm responding to a personal attack. But my wife can provide a clinical point of view into the conversation. It's her area of expertise.
You say I didn't know your uncle. But do you know me? Do you know my wife? Do you know my daughters? I can assure you, I knew your uncle a lot more than you know any of us. My opinions (whether right or wrong) were based on my brief interactions with him, as well as the interactions he had with other people I knew.
You say your uncle is a wonderful man today? Well that's great to hear. I'm happy to know that. My opinions and memories about him are from 20 years ago. They have no reflection on who he is today - or who he was then for that matter.
As to the entry you made in your own blog, please be advised that my wife is an independent thinker. At no point did I ask, encourage or tell her to make any comments to you or defend me in any way. Yes, I'm a big boy and am quite capable of defending myself. But it's not unusual for people to defend those that they care for. Gee... aren't you chastising her for the exact same thing you've done for your uncle?
If she chooses to defend me, that's her choice. Based on what I've seen of her comments, it would appear as if she only defends me when she feels it's warranted.
that's okay. my mom writes most of what i post the net.
Edna, (or Edna's mother) you still have yet to figure things out. What are you trying to prove? What point are you trying to make? Airport layovers and Masters' degrees? Nobody is bragging Edna. You completely missed the point of the argument. And you've continued to miss it again and again. Everyone else gets it. Why can't you?
For the record Edna, I did not grow up with these kids. I didn't hang out with them. I wasn't friends with them. I simply knew them. Back in the day, Greg Pagel (for example) wanted absolutely nothing to do with me. These commenters were never a part of my "old school gang."
It's ridiculously comical that you now choose to masquerade as the principal of our school. The principal at that time (a guy you clearly don't even know the name of) was a kind and gentle soul. He would never stoop so low as to leave such a nasty comment that you just did. He was also a very bright man. He wouldn't be caught dead typing something with all the grammatical errors you just left. Despite your best efforts, you didn't pull it off. Lastly, there are probably only a handful of students from that year that he would actually remember. I can assure you, your beloved relative isn't one of them.
As I have personally stated a couple of times, I wish Clint well, and hope his life is great today. No one here wishes any ill will towards the man. In fact, it's just the opposite. No one is picking on Clint. No one is putting him down. There is nothing "cruel" here. So I ask again, what point are you trying to make?
"Hatred never ceases through hatred. By compassion alone does it cease."
Sounds like a bunch of tree-hugger hippie crap!
oh yeah --
"One who has understood the truth of imperminence has unterstood the whole of the Dharma."
Let it go...
Of course he knows it's from his own website. He's the one who put the quote there! Apparently you can't comprehend sarcasm.
Everyone got it but you.
Hating hippies? I am really trying hard to contain myself, and not burst out laughing. Nope... it's not working. Lordy, lordy, lordy...
Besides, we all know that Greg hates everybody equally.
By the way, is it Grych, Moede or Ebert? Please introduce yourself - for real this time.
I hate Burt worst of all.
But I love you, someonewhobarelygraduated. May you have happiness and its causes. May you be free from suffering and its causes. May you be free.
Oh, I keep forgetting to mention it, but I also wish for Clint to be free from suffering and the causes of suffering. The fact that a guy like him should have had to endure what he has and still is going through shows how sadly dysfunctional our society is.
I do hope Clint is able to find some measure of peace, somehow.
Principal/Barely you're a joke. I've known many principals in my life. All of them have excellent grammar. If you're a former principal, then tell us who you are. No can do? Gee, I wonder why?
The original "Edna" was good. She said her peace, came to peace with me, then left.
As for your veiled threat at an attorney knocking at my door, I say BRING IT ON! I wasn't aware attorneys made house calls. But apparently you know of one. I would love to meet the attorney who would take up your "case." Please enlighten me as to what exactly my crime is.
Oh, a real principal would also know the definition of the term "slander." Look it up. How does it apply to this WRITTEN blog in any way?
The creator's wife - she did mention that in that second picture, Clint was indeed a decent-looking fellow.
Congratulations on making Clint's entry the most popular place on this blog. You've surpassed the number of comments left for Brad Strouf. Now more people know about Clint than ever before.
Speaking of Brad, he's right. Your act is getting old. You obviously need to have the last word. So come on back one more time and give us your last words of wisdom.
The Heart Sutra
Prajna Paramita Hrydaya Sutra
When the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara
Was Coursing in the Deep Prajna Paramita
He Perceived That All Five Skandhas Are Empty.
Thus He Overcame All Ills and Suffering.
Oh, Sariputra, Form Does not Differ From the Void,
And the Void Does Not Differ From Form.
Form is Void and Void is Form;
The Same is True For Feelings,
Perceptions, Volitions and Consciousness.
Sariputra, the Characteristics of the
Voidness of All Dharmas
Are Non-Arising, Non-Ceasing, Non-Defiled,
Non-Pure, Non-Increasing, Non-Decreasing.
Therefore, in the Void There Are No Forms,
No Feelings, Perceptions, Volitions or Consciousness.
No Eye, Ear, Nose, Tongue, Body or Mind;
No Form, Sound, Smell, Taste, Touch or Mind Object;
No Realm of the Eye,
Until We Come to No realm of Consciousness.
No ignorance and Also No Ending of Ignorance,
Until We Come to No Old Age and Death and
No Ending of Old Age and Death.
Also, There is No Truth of Suffering,
Of the Cause of Suffering,
Of the Cessation of Suffering, Nor of the Path.
There is No Wisdom, and There is No Attainment Whatsoever.
Because There is Nothing to Be Attained,
The Bodhisattva Relying On Prajna Paramita Has
No Obstruction in His Mind.
Because There is No Obstruction, He Has no Fear,
And He passes Far Beyond Confused Imagination.
And Reaches Ultimate Nirvana.
The Buddhas of the Past, Present and Future,
By Relying on Prajna Paramita
Have Attained Supreme Enlightenment.
Therefore, the Prajna Paramita is the Great Magic Spell,
The Spell of Illumination, the Supreme Spell,
Which Can Truly Protect One From All Suffering Without Fail.
Therefore He Uttered the Spell of Prajnaparmita,
Saying Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha.
My feelings exactly.
(I think)
Well, I think the veil has been lifted. After doing a little internet investigation, I've come to a conclusion. I believe our beloved "principal" and "barely graduate" is a very close relative of Clint's by the name of Toni. I believe the original "Edna" is in fact Toni's daughter. Although I don't believe her name is in fact Edna. As for her real name, I'll leave that private.
Of course I'll be the first to admit that I could be wrong.
So welcome Toni. Have you said your peace now?
mattress? bahahahahaha. wheres that big oaf at locked up? oh he is, damnn sorry lol
