My uncle.. I remember being told that my aunt who was such a good cook. Cooked all the homemade meals for all the folks in the jail & they'd have some regulars who'd come back on purpose just for her food. Harry was kind yet tough.. tried talking to ya first, giving ya a warning, driving ya home if too many spirits in ya, letting ya sleep it off with a fantastic meal in the morn. More serious offenses...he was tough I heard.
