I first met Harry B in 1974 when I started my job with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources in Simcoe. I recall joining a bus trip with the Norfolk Historical Society on a tour led by Harry B to the Sparta area south of St. Thomas. In my 9 years living in the Simcoe area I shared time with Harry B as a member of the executive of the Norfolk Field Naturalists and the Long Point Foundation for Conservation. I also have fond memories of doing Christmas bird counts with Harry in the Port Dover area. I was also fortunate to have met his children and his lovely first wife Helen. I recall one winter evening being invited in to view the publisher's proofs of a book to be published - my memory lets me down, but most likely it was either 'Lore and Legends of Long Point' or 'William Pope' - copies of which I own and cherish. Harry was a remarkable man, friendly and welcoming of new visitors to Port Dover/Norfolk/Long Point, and eager to share in his knowledge of history and nature in the Long Point area. It was a pleasure to have made his acquaintance. John Cooper Vancouver
