hearing problems in the post office parking lot

[Karen Willis]

Harry Harvill was from Beaumont and started U.T. in the Plan II group of 
1962, same as me.  He and I were freshman sweethearts, but there was 
another small group of friends we socialized with, Arthur Ramirez, and Bill 
somebody.  We had intellectual discussions, accompanied by beer, on 
weekends when I wasn't going to a Ranger party or a ghetto party.  I don't 
think Harry was involved with the ghetto group.  Harry and Bill went off to 
the Vietnam war.  Harry became kind of a quintessential soldier, and Bill 
was killed in the war.  When Harry came back from the war, I found that I 
could not relate to the soldier attitude.  He was not the sweet, quiet, 
poetry-reading person I remembered.

Harry taught himself German in high school and played the French Horn in 
the band.  He taught me how to play the recorder, and we played duets 
sometimes.  The distinguishing thing about his appearance--he wore a little 
short moustache like Hitler.
