Harry,

I will never forget our ill-fated trip to Vail in '76 when we flipped over in the Blazer crossing Loveland Pass..amazingly, we all walked away virtually unscathed, including your dog! I hitched the rest of the way to Vail and never saw you again. But, whenever I look at the faint scars on my wrist, a minor souvenir from that trip, I think of you, Tom and your dog...and sometimes drift back to those long-ago Babylon Yacht Club, Great South Bay days in the '60s. I wish my 2 boys could know that wonderful place and time. We were all so lucky. Glad to have known you, buddy!
