(Notes of Kirby Courts:)
Henry's nickname was "Slick." He was called Harry by all the family members. During his younger life, Harry worked for the timber industry. He was a timber estimator for Reliance Lumber Company. This job gave Harry a deferrment during Woar I. Uncle Harry was a butcher in later years and also ran a barbecue business. The barbecue stand was part of the Dickerson Drive-in on College Street in Beaumont, Texas.
Harry was an avid baseball fan, as I write this, the playoffs are going on to determine who plays in the World Series (Oct 1996). I watched a lot of games with Uncle Harry in 1970s, as we lived in the same neighborhood. I know in my heartould love to be here for this series. He was a person of good h umor who loved his family very much. Family members still remember his supurb handwriting skills. His penmanship was of the script from the last century. It was very beautiful to see.
