Dear Family,
I was Mr. Harn´s 8th grade history student at Middle River Jr. High (then). Mr. Harn took us to the Morris Mechanic to see `George M.´ & taught us the love of theatre, the importance of history & the appreciation & enjoyment of learning. May God Bless this exceptional educator. Prayers for his family.

So many memories of Gary...and all good ones. Best of all, I think, was his expertise at guiding students at Loch Raven Senior. If I had students who needed helpful advice, I never hesitated sending them to Gary, and he always "did the trick". Condolences to the family.
Hopefully, Gary and Jack are now reunited in Heaven.
