Harry was is Japan at the same time I was and I also was a radio operator in the Air Force and I and 3 others worked with him. We have kept in touch over the years via telephone, ham radio and letters and cards. I was shocked to find out that Harry had passed away after I did some searching as we hadn't heard from him. I thought of Harry as a brother and will miss him.
