REMEMBERING HARRY

A blog about Harry by Deb Whitehorse.

About Deb: Harry was married to the late Marlene Dreger for 35 years and they had 8 children. Marlene passed away in 1986. Harry and I were married for over 25 years and we have a daughter who has inherited her father’s love for art and works in a creative field. Harry led an incredible life and it’s important for those of us who knew him to tell his story. This is my way of sharing what he told me and what I observed during our time together.
