There are many well known artist that have attempted to capture the culture, religion  histories and day to day atmosphere of the Seminole Indians, but failed to do so. A boy hood friend did. We spent some fun times together. One day while we were going snake and alligator watching I hid my new bike in the bushes and when we came back it was gone. Back in those days we called him Harry. His name is Harry Guy LaBree.

Harry was a very unique person he went every where barefoot, They had a heck of a time getting shoes on him to go to school, when he went to school. He connected with the Seminole Indians that were in our school at an early age and after growing up he actually live with them for a short time. The Seminole Indians went to school in Dania and as population grew they went to a different school, thats when I lost tract of Harry and saw him and spoke to him on several occasions over the years. Last contact was on the phone was just before he passed away, he lived in arcadia Florida near or in what was describe to me was really rural. His is missed and I will always remember him. I was a bless person to experience a small part of his life.
