Remembering Harry Helms
After taking over administration of the web site, I discovered that one of our former contributors, Harry Helms (known here simply as Harry) had died last year after a long illness. Harry contributed several essays about Ghost Adventures episodes to this site.
Harry was the author of many books, including "All About Ham Radio", "Shortwave Listening Guidebook", "Computer Language Reference Guide", and "Top Secret Tourism: Your Travel Guide to Germ Warfare Laboratories, Clandestine Aircraft Bases and Other Places in the United States You're Not Supposed to Know About". He maintained the topsecrettourism.com web site, and had appeared on Coast to Coast AM three times. He also maintained his own blog.
He died in November 2009 in Fort Mill, South Carolina. He was 57.

I'm sorry to learn of Harry's untimely passing. How sad, gosh he was so young, only 57. My condolences go out to his family and friends.
I didn't have the pleasure of knowing him personally, but did enjoy reading his comments, he seemed to be a nice fellow. May he rest in peace.

My condolences to a man who was obviously a cut above.
