Columbia poet Hershel D. Harmon

Columbia poet Hershel D. Harmon finished writing his poem, "The Studebaker Hawk with Tennessee Plates," about five years ago. He first started putting it into his memory bank in 1962. It is a favorite of his friend, patron of the arts Joe Moore, who gave him the red Studebaker Hawk model he holds in the accompanying picture.

His son, Tony Lynn Harmon, of Pellham Branch Road, Columbia, gave him the other model; and Mr. Harmon's daughter-in-law, Janet Harmon, who works at the Bank of Columbia, fixed the frame Mr. Harmon holds.

Harmon has also written "Food Stamp Program," "Pick and Shovel Man," and several other works of verse.

He now has "Take Me Back to Tompkinsville," in his memory bank; it isn't down on paper yet. He also writes religous poems. He hasn't yet put them in a book, but would like to do so one day, and he also has hopes that maybe a Nashville music publisher will pick up some of his work for a song one day.
