Thank you for honoring the career and achievements of Professor Harry Hurt. For those of you wishing to make a small demonstration of support in memory of Professor Hurt, I will suggest two charitable organizations. The choice is up to you based upon your assessment of which category, motorcycles or medical research is more appropriate. The first would be a contribution to the American Motorcycle Association's Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum. www.motorcyclemuseum.org/donors/index.asp Professor Hurt was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2008 and he always considered it a great honor. The online contribution menu allows you to name Professor Hurt as your donation "in memory of". The Museum is doing an excellent job preserving the heritage of what Harry loved best - motorcycling. The second suggestion would be the American Heart Association. donate.americanheart.org The Hurt/Hall family has a long history of heart disease, and Harry struggled with an illness that killed most of his relatives including his mother. That he lived to the age of almost 82 is a credit to the life-saving science and medicine supported by the American Heart Association.
