Uncle Harold (or "Honest Harry" as my father William liked it better), I definitely miss you a lot. You were one of the few connections that I have had in my life to the "real" Hornibrook family. Yours and Howard's history in St Cloud is certainly something I am proud of. And God you would crack me up sitting in the very last pew at the First Presbyterian Church,cussing the whole time. I am reminded this time of year where I learned to shape my kind soul and rough exterior. From my grandfather and his twin brother born just one day before me. Fellow pisces are few and far between. Love you.
