Harry was the reason my husband, Michael Bohonak, joined him at Clemson on a football scholarship. I lost Mike in May of 2019. I am sure he was there to greet Harry. We shared his love of animals. As a believer of the Rainbow Bridge, I believe that Harry crossed over, taking along the many cats he rescued. Dr. Noni Bohonak
