Dear Harriet, I am so sad to hear about the passing of your wonderful husband. We send you our condolences and prayers. I called Betty Wiggins, who moved to Phoenix to let her know as well.

Harriet and Family,

The thoughts and prayers of the entire Montana Council Boy Scouts of America are with you during this difficult time. You both are an iconic part of our culture and all whom visit the island. Indeed among our favorite times were your visits. Fred was a great man. His light shall forever shine... Warmest Regards - On behalf of the Montana Council.

My dear Harriet, what a shock to hear the news. I remember you both so fondly. My days of friendship with Fred found me seeing him as a quiet giant. You have been so fortunate in your life and I know this will give you strength as well as those occasional sad memories. My thoughts and prayers are filled with wishes for sustained strength. Your friend from THS
