    Harold worked for Don Henrich at OMC propeller engineering in the late sixties thru mid seventies. He was one of the back room masters at buffing and shaping propellers. After OMC he worked at Michigan Wheel and eventually opened his own business. He was always eager to help at the races, but Jack Leek only wanted engine tech's to do pit repairs. Great Guy!

    Harold was a fixture at the Region 7 races for a number of years and I remember stopping by at his house in Round Lake Il a few times as a kid with my dad to swap and borrow props and parts.
    In addition to being a good prop guy, he built a couple of competitive tunnels. The one he built for Terry Leatherby (#898 in the picture) set the Mod 90 record at the kilos (1975 I think). He also built a smaller version that Len Szulc ran quite well with in the sport e class.
