Dad was always good at negotiating deals for the stock he needed for his store.  He would go at least a couple times a week to pick up whatever he needed.at this one particular wholesaler.  One day he couldn't go, so he sent my brother, Dale & me to pick up some things.  As soon as we walked in the wholesaler, this guy yells, "Hey, it's half-price Harry's kids."  We found out that his nick name was "half-price Harry" because everytime an item was being purchased, my dad would say "half-price, half-price.....that should be half-price." 

Harry loved basketball and played in his youth.  By the time us kids discovered this, he was too busy raising us and running the store but when he did have some time, (although it always seemed too short) he would go to the backyard to shoot for about 20 mins.  He taught me the game 21 and he beat me everytime we played.  He had a great hook shot.
