From what I've read, he seemed like a wonderful, upstanding man who served his community and was generous with his money.

80 seems so young now that I'm getting older.

Yes, and Bud Hopkins more or less said last night his days are "numbered"

he was one of the first UFO abductee investigators. He said in his 80's that

he'd most likely not write another book on his findings in this field...he could

hardly talk for his disabilties. Said he fights for strength to keep going these

 days.

Harry, our poet. Bless him! We had such a short time with him here, but he is indeed remembered.
