OSTERVILLE The sun is peeking out around noon Wednesday when a woman walking with a little girl at Dowses Beach spots former Barnstable High School principal Patrick Clark and waves.
Clark said he gets that a lot people stopping him at the grocery store, wanting to know how he is doing.
Many Cape residents are familiar with the story of how he collapsed Sept. 27 on a morning bike ride right here at Dowses Beach, two days after being placed on paid administrative leave by Barnstable Schools Superintendent Meg Mayo-Brown during a tumultuous reopening of school in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
