OUSA Communications

Clinton Morse had notified the OUSA Board of Directors that he intended to step down as National Communications Manager at year end to pursue other retirement goals. With his sudden loss, the OUSA Board will look to fill his shoes sooner than expected. 
Until OUSA can come up with a permanent solution, Barb Bryant has volunteered to coordinate our communications. She is seeking additional short-term volunteers to help with this task; please contact her at barb.bryant@nullorienteeringusa.org if you can volunteer. You may continue to send any messages related to communications to webmaster@nullorienteeringusa.org or newsletter@nullorienteeringusa.org and be confident they will be received by OUSA.

Orienteering USA is deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of Clinton Morse, National Communications Manager, on July 12, 2024. He suffered a fatal heart attack after his morning run. Clinton was 62 years old. His untimely loss leaves a big gap in our hearts, and will be felt throughout the orienteering community. We offer our deepest condolences to his wife Ellen, his children Anna, Hayden, and Jackson, as well as to his extended family and friends.  

He was a wonderful human being who also did a great deal of OUSA publicity, including the monthly newsletter, Year In Review, social media posts, and anything else he was asked. Clinton is most famous as the guy with the camera who was running around like a maniac near the O-meet finish line to take your photo.  You couldn’t breathe, but suddenly you wanted to try to look good in the shot. He had a gift for highlighting our best orienteering selves, whether that was in words or in images.

Clint was a graduate of Cornell, and most of his career was in horticulture.  He was the manager of the greenhouse and botanical collections at the University of Connecticut until his retirement in 2020.  Besides his official OUSA role, Clinton was an enthusiastic orienteer, trail runner, and Rogainer, and was a mapper as well as a frequent course setter. Most recently, he single-handedly produced the Team Trials for the US World Orienteering Championship team at UConn, from maps to courses to results.
