In Memory of

Harry Smith Wright Iii

Passed away 1997

Harry Smith Wright Iii attended Pittsfield High School in Pittsfield, IL.

Class of 1979
Date of Passing Sep 09, 1997
Found dead in his house by his father, Harry S. Wright, Jr. Harry died of natural causes, although in truth he had endangered his health with excessive drink. He was a lifelong friend and an ornithological expert, as well as a great theater director. He read books faster than anyone I've ever seen, with full retention. He read thousands of books in his all too short life. His eulogy is the only one I've ever had to deliver.
