Mr. Seidler was my first and most powerful and life long impactful mentor.
He and I had a connection that went far past the two times I worked for him
for 11 years total at ER Squibb.
We kept in touch through cards and letters almost until he went home.
He was a good and in many ways a great man...
We had a special relationship...even when he was chewing me out for good reasons.
I wish my life hadn't taken me so far away from him...
To this day I think about him and smile.

Sincere condolences to the family of Harold Seidler. He was one of the very first veterans to participate in the National Guard Militia Museum's Veteran Oral History project in June of 2001. That interview is now digitized on the Library of Congress site:

A part of State Police legend for all of us who were State Police Recruits when Capt. Seidler was Commandant of the Academy. His legend will live on in the stories we tell at gatherings of former Troopers.
