We had our 60th class reunion of the 1962 graduating class of Casco High School, the first high school Harry taught at. I addressed the class and commented on how fortunate we were to have had such good teachers in such a rural area of Wisconsin, singling out Harry as the best science teacher imaginable.

Harry Leeman was one of the most important people in my life. I was a student in the first high school he taught at and he was one of the best teachers I ever had. Although we integrate science and spirituality a little differently, Harry taught me about the valid domaines of each. I feel blessed to have had such a teacher. My heartfelt condolences to Margaret and family.
