  According to his big sister, Lela Aileen Muse Board, Harold was well known for his "peacekeeping" talents. One of his teachers, Mrs Miller, at Lakeside Elementary School, told Lela that there was a special plaque created especially for Harold, he was the only one who had ever been honored. She said, "He deserved it, whenever there was a fight on the playground they would send Harold out to break it up. Everybody came back smiling." He was a favorite of the teachers, and got along well with everybody.
  One fond memory Lela told was of Harold disappearing with the family horse but the bridle and saddle were left behind. When the two finally showed up back at home Harold said "That horse wouldn't whoa!"
  Later in life Harold attended Grossmont High School and helped his father with the Muse Well Drilling Company.
