Harry was born Nov. 18, 1926, in Boston, Mass., the only child of Harry and Florence Revelle. He died Nov. 5, 1999, in Mount Pleasant, Texas, where he and his wife had recently relocated. He was a resident of Oklahoma City almost his entire adult life. He graduated from high school in 1944 in Ardmore, Okla., attended the University of Oklahoma, and received his bachelor of arts degree from Oklahoma City University.
