Is Harry gone for good?

[LordJezo]

<p>They keep bringing him up and still call him their producer.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What's the story with that?&nbsp; Shouldn't they just write him off and move on?<br /></p>

[Gimp]

<p>i really hope so </p><p>i dunno how well he was behind the scenes but he was radio death on air<br /></p>

[suggums]

Judging by the hiring of East Side I would say Harry is done

[moochcassidy]

<p>i liked the guy ok. but nobody gets to abandon&nbsp;their job like that and have another chance.&nbsp;it doesnt say much for his respect for&nbsp;r&amp;f... epecially with the sarcastic postcards to earl. hes done.</p><p>embrace the time of the dave.</p>

<p>Harry has moved on to bigger things...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>sweatpants</p>

<p>I heard he was doing time in a federal prison for HUD scams. </p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[kickapoo]

i just want to know what exactly happened with him?

[cupcakelove]

Well, he either quit, or was fired.&nbsp; Neither one of those would surprise me.&nbsp; Which ever it was I'm sure it down a while ago and they were just making a joke out of it until they could line up a replacement.&nbsp; <br />

[Gvac]

<p>Harry's a really good kid who's obviously going through a pretty tough time in his life for whatever reason. </p><p>I wish him well in whatever he winds up doing.<br />

Thats the thing about radio.. sometimes you NEVER know what happens to the employees.. If he is gone.. it was too bad he didn't say goodbye :(

I think he may have been fired for adjusting the thermostaaaaat.

<p>But for some reason, they are allowed to say all kinds of things
they wouldn't normally get away with when they are not on the
air.&nbsp; I don't know why, but things like sexual harrassment (which
I think is bigger deal than Harry's situation) don't seem to apply to
DJs when they are on the air.&nbsp; And they haven't really said
anything bad about him, just that they don't know where he is.<br />

<p>I hear Harry is now a roadie for System of a Down.</p><p><strong><font color="#000099">Actually he's roadying for Syndrome of a Down (cover band).</font></strong></p><p><img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y46/bobogolem/syndromeOfADown.jpg" border="0" /></p>

[FlashVirus]

<p>I don't see why he would be fired. He was boring on the air but I never heard too much about him screwing up behind the scenes.</p><p>&nbsp;I bet something personal came up. May be he is concentrating on school or something. East Side Dave will be a good replacement.<br /></p>
