- Harry and wife Terri have almost become professional
rescuers. They have built a kennel and are also
converting an old barn into a house, for some of the dogs
they have saved from death row. They have now housed
24 dogs.
- When they married, Terri had an Airedale and Harry had
a Saint Bernard and a Labrador Retriever.
When they move to the country, their children started
bringing orphaned or injured forest animals.
Terri being a nurse by education, would help with their
healing until they could get back on their feet. Than came the call that two young
tigers need a temporary home. This temporary arrangement lasted almost 15
years. This started a foster care program that included dozens of tigers, jaguars,
leopards, cervals, and a host of other exotic young. Terri would feed and take care
of the young. Harry would feed and take care of the older ones. Terri would
give tours to different school classes for their field trips.
Terri and Harry ask for everyone to please spay and neuter
your pets.

2.) Record was 3,821 push-ups on one arm.
3.) Record was 100 push-ups on one-finger.
- One of Harry's regrets is that he did not take up martial arts sooner (40yrs old).
- 'It was great exercise-I had never been that loose in my life.' says Harry
- Harry did not spar until he had gotten his 3rd, belt believing he was too old to
compete. Harry then went undefeated in 200 matches, winning a gold metal in the NC
State Games.
