Harlan was at the initial meeting on Aug.14, 2015, in the Black Building downtown Fargo, when the concept of The100, Inc. was implemented, and was an influential Member of The Executives’ Club throughout his time with us. He was a Wednesday lunch “regular”, lending his unique business acumen and insight to countless discussions. He enjoyed a Guinness or a smooth whiskey at many of our Member socials and we were lucky enough to host his 70th Birthday Party at the Clubhouse in 2021, before his passing on Thanksgiving Day 2021. We will miss our friend – thank you, Harlan, for sharing your wisdom with us.
