WWII had ended just before high school was completed. After initially serving in the enlisted ranks of the USAF, an opportunity for pilot training by way of the aviation cadet program was seized upon.
Pilot training was completed and commissioning as a Second Lieutenant began a thirteen-year stint as a fighter pilot, flight instructor, and maintenance flight test pilot. Those jobs resulted in many varied aspects of flying high performance aircraft, some of which were supersonic.
After leaving the Air Force, residence was taken up in Summerville, South Carolina, on the coast, near Charleston, with wife Kathy and four sons. A small business, specializing in marine electronics, was established and operated until recently. Flying was continued by working on weekends with the local airport operator, the Civil Air Patrol and as partner in a Cessna 172. Harold and Kathy are now retired in Summerville.lihat lebih sedikit
