    I had the distinct pleasure of knowing Harry (and spending a great deal
    of time with him) back in my high school days.  Harry was President
    of the National Association of Rocketry at the time, and when I learned
    that he lived in the next town over, I wrote to him and described some
    work I'd done on model rocket altitude prediction.  Harry invited me
    to meet him and some of his friends.  I flew a lot of model rockets
    with Harry, and was part of an NAR demonstration team that he formed.
    Harry also wrote a letter of recommendation for me when I applied to
    MIT.  We lost track of one another after I stayed in the Cambridge
    area and he moved to Phoenix (?).  Every now and again I think I ought
    to try to reconnect with him through one of his publishers, but I never
    get around to it.
    
    Thanks for posting this, this is probably the best/easiest way for me
    to hook up with an old friend.
