I remember meeting Harry when I was chair of the Department of Secondary Education/Foundations of Education about 10 years ago. He had a little test for me: "I'll bet you don't know what pectin is." Fortunately, my mother had been a high school home ec teacher and I not only knew what pectin is, I could also tell him its role in human digestion. He was surprised, and I had the impression he was not often surprised by his colleagues. He was one of those characters that gave Rowan a unique academic ambience. May he rest in well-earned peace.
