I remember fondly back in 1967 when I told my father that my homeroom teacher and phy ed teacher were one and the same at Ramsey Jr High...Well when my father told me who Mr Haskins was, I was excited that a celebrity would "needle me" for three years regarding my athletic abilities. I remember Mr Haskins had the finest handwriting ...it still sticks in my mind. My symphathy to his family...Barry Steinman Tempe, AZ

My dad and high school coach, Ken Fladager, took me to see Hal play many times. He was a truly great player and an inspiration to me. My sincere condolences to his family. Captain Myles Fladager USN (ret.)

I remember with appreciation Hal's incredible feats as a member of Hamline's great basketball teams! It was fun to visit with Hal during the years I lived in Roseville as pastor of the United Methodist Church.
