I am so sorry to find that Harry has passed away. We were friends our freshman year at Lincoln University. I transferred after that year and didn’t keep in touch. I was looking at the LU yearbook and found Harry so decided to google him. So sad to see he had passed. We were both active at the Newman Center. He was always fun and liked to tease. It was also fun to hear his high school stories and I credit all I know about “triple jump” to him! Ha ha! I now live in a suburb of Cincinnati, OH although I listed Jefferson City (my hometown) I am sorry for your loss. Laura Forck Morehead
