DownsizeDC has posted information about a memorial service for former LP presidential candidate Harry Browne:

Harry Browne's memorial service will be held at the Historic Moravian Chapel in Kernersville, NC on Saturday, August 12th at 2 PM.

The Reverend Amis Daniel, a family friend and the pastor who married Harry and Pamela in 1985, will be officiating. Also officiating will be Harry's son-in-law, Michael Buss, who was a Baptist minister in England.

The service will include CD music that Harry personally selected for his funeral, scripture, a message by one of the pastors, poetry that Harry selected for his wedding with Pamela, a eulogy, an opportunity for spontaneous eulogies, and a message Harry wrote to be read at his funeral.

There will be a reception with light hors d'oeuvres afterwards in the church fellowship hall until around 5 PM.

Harry Browne died on March 1, 2006. Lew Rockwell's words perhaps best sum up my feelings about him:

He was a man of great principle who courageously and consistently stood up for liberty even when his position clashed with mainstream political culture and public opinion. He was a great writer who worked hard to turn a phrase in a way that would serve to educate people about free markets and the free society. He was a supremely thoughtful man, who read voraciously to educate himself, was not adverse to admitting error, and constantly struggled to say what was true as he understood it.

The entire movement misses you, Harry.
