Harvey King of Waldo SAR at the SERE training near Rangeley in 2010.
May 12, 2011
From MASAR President, Deb Palman:
I am sad to report the loss of Harvey King, a member of Waldo County (SAR) and a hard worker for SAR in Maine.
Last night around 10 pm, Jay Holweger from Waldo SAR and MESARD called me to report that Harvey King had gone turkey hunting and was missing. Someone had just located his car and Waldo SAR was forming up at the Searsmont Fire Department. Wardens had just arrived on scene.
Shortly afterward, Sgt. John Blagdon called me to page out MESARD to join the search. I had just got that done when Sgt. Blagdon called back to say that Harvey’s body had been found.
Harvey apparently was turkey hunting, had shot a turkey and collapsed while carrying the turkey back to the car. He passed away doing something he loved.
MASAR extends its condolences to Harvey’s immediate family and extended SAR family at Waldo SAR and MASAR. We will miss him.
Deborah S. Palman
President MASAR
