Dear Harry, your old buddy who you signed up under the "Buddy Plan" to go into the Marines. Our boot camp days were long and hard but a couple of guys from Minnesota made it OK. I remember the hunting camp days at Split Rock and the other great days at your Schultz Lake cabin. The last few years we were miles apart however I thought about my Marine buddy many times, I want to express my condolence to the the Sjoberg family and let them know Harry was a real buddy, he will be missed.....Dave
