I am also a past AEII national president, and recipient of the Order of the Lion, however, my best memory of Harvey is how kindly he treated me when I was a 22 year old Field Secretary visiting Washington. May he rest in peace.

Saddened to hear of Harvey's passing. He was inspirational to my career choice and I remain grateful for his letter of recommendation helping my acceptance into law school. Golf with Harvey and my Dad was always a lesson in good sportsmanship, grace and how to behave as a true gentleman. Barbara - you and the family are in my thoughts. Much love, Dennis Weisberg
