Harry Truman
Additional Details:
| Harry Truman, crusty, salty speaking 84 year "Old Man of the Mountain," perished rather than leave his fifty-year home, friendly raccoons, sixteen cats, assorted antiques, and his beloved mountain. The owner of Mount St. Helen's Lodge, near Spirit Lake, Truman spent the day before the eruption visiting with raccoon friends, watering his lawn, getting ready for summer visitors, and spouting his rambling reminiscences and "blue language" quotes. His memorial is the colorful legend he's left behind |
