A number of Harry's guns were sold off after he passed.

Not many folks knew that he was also an accomplished painter. I missed a painting of his at auction once; myself and one other bidder kept running it up and Ira gave me the 'look' that said he was going to own it no matter what. His pockets were deeper than mine that day. It was done in oils, taken from a sketch he had made at the Pan American games in Argentina. Gaucho breaking a horse. Sketch and other notes were included.

We got to talking at a Coors Regional one day and he mentioned he had a .22 HighWall built by Harry Pope. Just grinned when he saw my reaction.

Fine gentleman.
