| I was at a library in a NJ town-- Morristown, maybe-- and there was a sort of plaque to Harry "A" Chesler in the entryway. Pretty simple: It was a sheet of paper with printing on it to the effect of who he was and what he'd done. Less than a paragraph, really, but they remembered him. It's probably gone now. I may have a photo somewhere deep in the files. |
