Harold was one of a small handful of my favorite teachers. I was the youngest of three brothers that had him for physics at East. Class of 1964. I would see Harold occasionally in the years after school and always had a fun chat enjoying his ever present smile. You did not get away with 'stuff" in his classes , but he was always ready to have fun and enjoyed kidding. I enjoyed getting to know him a little as adults and was pleased that he, Marvin Simonsen and Harlan Holm attended a couple of our later reunions at my invitation.
Our generation was SO fortunate to have MEN like these as teachers. After living through the Viet Nam Era, we found that these men had seen some real horrors of war and were not just old fuddy duddies. Harlan Holm was cited in Tom Brokaw's book " The Greatest Generation" as one of 2 teachers that made an impression on his life, as he taught him in school in North Dakota before Harlan moved to Des Moines. God blessed us with men like Harold and these others. Farewell, my friend.
