View all 13 ReflectionsHe was a member of the First Baptist Church in Groesbeck, as we were. Always sat in the same place as many of us did during the morning service. I was there when he had to leave, which was not unusual. Later learned that day, it was his last to attend service. We drove out to the site, I remember walking around, the smell of tear gas, etc was still present. News crews were there also filming. I saw myself on TV later that night, I walked , without knowing it, right behind the news guy while he was being filmed. The doer also shot and killed one of my classmates who was on a tractor on the adjoining farm. Sad sad day in Groesbeck. Harry was well liked by those who knew him.
