Just found something from my Grandfather - Warning Not Technical

It is a long story why, but recently, I have been doing some ego-surfing trying to find out what is online with my name associated with it.  Through this, I have found an Indiana Police Officer that was killed in the 1920s named Wallace B. McClure and a Wally McClure that died last fall that lived in Montana.  I have also found something about space travel that was presented in the 1980s by a Wallace McClure, but there was nothing else on this that I could find besides one or two web pages.  The interesting thing is that I just found more data about my grandfather than I think I have ever known in my life.

Biographical Note/Information: Wallace McClure was born in Knoxville,
Tennessee on July 30, 1890 and graduated from the University of Tennessee
in 1910. In 1915 he received his Ph.D. degree from Columbia University. He
was admitted to the local bar at Knoxville in 1911 and the bar of the
United States District Court in 1920. He practiced in Knoxville as a member
of Sansom and McClure, 1916-1917.
    McClure enjoyed a long career in international law from 1925-1961.
Among his many positions, he served as a teacher in the School of Foreign
Service in 1925 (teaching commercial policy and treaties), lecturer in 1935
at Des Moines public forums, lecturer in 1936 at Colorado Springs and
Chattanooga, and lecturer in 1936-1937 at Johns Hopkins. He was an officer
in the Department of State, 1920-1951, and served as economic analyst to
the Foreign Service Auxiliary. He was with the American Legation at
Stockholm from 1942-1946. He also served as a visiting lecturer at the
University of Virginia, 1954-1955, was a Fulbright lecturer at the
University of Dacca, East Pakistan, 1955-1956, was consulting director of
the World Rule of Law Center in 1958, and was visiting professor of Law at
Duke University (1958-1961). McClure was the author of a number of books
and articles on state constitution making, commercial policy, executive
agreements, world law, and world legal order.

This is my grandfather.  I knew that he was very sharp, but I did not know all of this.  Google can be your friend................
