______________ I met Mr. Shughart for the first time in 1960. It was then that he escorted his Boy Scout troop for its summer
weeklong excursion to Rehoboth Beach and D.C. There I learned that he wholly believed in the qualities and values of scouting.
His enthusiasm was contagious. Because of my love for the program, I have a treasury of wonderful memories of my young life
in scouting under his leadership. Because of his belief in "outing is scouting", biology and the out-of-doors
became my life. Later, my desire to teach school blessed me with the presence of some of his sons and a grandson. He never
knew where his influence would one day lead. The point is that he was an excellent leader of young men, a wonderful hands'-on
teacher and a sincere individual. Although he also became my friend, he will always be Mr. Shughart to me because of my
respect for him. I know that he will be immensely missed by his family and friends. My sympathies to you, his family. May
I con!
clude with that which he always had us conclude each and every scout meeting.
As a group we would stand, raise our arms and repeat together "The Scoutmaster Benediction": "May the Great
Master of all Scouts be with you till we meet again." Mr. Shughart is now in the presence of God, that "Great Master
of all Scouts". And, I look forward to the day that we will meet again.
Jim Strine ______________ Dear
Shughart Families, I
am sorry to hear about your dad. He was so supportive to us as we marched our hearts out in the high school band. My love,
thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Denise Wimer Evans _______________
I worked with Harold for many years at the
