Sad. One of the real cowboys. 1963 Held the torch for "Surfin Bird" in Alamo (mainly at the Tiger Den). Perhaps the first street march\riot in Alamo history was held on 10th street at a small radio station. Wilcox was grand.

At the 25th reunion of Alamogordo High School Class of '65, I reminded Harry that he was my first date. We went to the 7th grade Christmas dance in the Junior High gymnasium. He not only remembered, he told me the dress I wore was blue! What a memory! I guess I was his first date, too. I spent my adult life in California, but I have great memories of those years growing up in Alamogordo. My deepest sympathies to his family. He will be missed.
