CLARKSVILLE — Follow your passion and don't let obstacles determine your attitude.
  That was the message 2015 Clarksville High School Valedictorian Madison Bloker delivered to her classmates at commencement on Sunday.
  She spoke of Daniel Lucas, a boy once in their class who didn't make it to commencement. Lucas suffered form Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, a rare inherited disorder that affects how the body builds and breaks down a certain element of human tissue.
