When you look back on your life, there is always that one person that you always remember as having touched your life in a unique way and Harry was one of those people.
I will never forget meeting with Harry prior to attending the MPM program in the early 90's. He gave me the opportunity to attend CMU's MPM program and I was so glad he did. I did not have outstanding undergraduate credentials but he gave me a shot. Ironically, I graduated with "highest distinction" and literally enjoyed every minute of my time there.
One day around 1993, Harry gave me a CMU/Heinz School key chain made out of a metal, sort of had a gold appearance to it if you know what I mean. When he gave it to me he told me "it will never wear out" and then he chuckled. Today I still use that key chain, and I can still see him giving me that key chain in his office that day. And you know what? He was right......... it never wore out.
Every time I think of CMU I think of Harry and his calm demeanor and professionalism. Please let his family know that I was very honored to know him. What a guy!
