Harold is from New Orleans and a graduate from LSU.  Other university activities included 40 advanced hours, LSU band, multiple club leadership positions, school yearbook editor, ROTC, and flight school.  He received awards for outstanding senior in the LSU School of Forestry and in the College of Agriculture.  

He earned his wings in the Army and spent a year in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot and maintenance officer.  He met and married Linda, his late wife of 38 years, while in flight school at Savannah, GA.

Harold began his career in Forestry with International Paper Company.  This took him, his wife and three children to several locations in the South and French Guiana in South America.  He and his family decided to remain in Eatonton, GA.   Harold purchased and operated a neighboring meat processing facility.  Linda became plant manager of Haband’s local operations.  Their three children began notable careers. 

His thirst for knowledge and love of nature, animals, photography, and art lead him to the digital world, computers and years of local and national art classes.  This coupled with the desire to help others excel prompted him to volunteer as one of TEAM’s webmasters.  There his knowledge and contributions have greatly expanded his horizons beyond belief.
