I also had the privilege of working with Harold at the State Bar of NM and was continually impressed by his energy, patriotism, and joie de vivre. I always think of him on Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day as he would always bring a cake to share with the staff. He remains a special part of my life and I miss him.

I had the privilege to work with Mr. Daum at the State Bar of New Mexico. When he decided to retire completely, I truly missed him around the office. He was an amazing man and was a joy to be around. My condolences to his friends and family.
