48. Kyle A. Huffman, of Lititz BMX, mentions to Harry Leary Sister, Linda Leary Taylor, that he is reading Mike Miller’s book - Day One. Linda had previously shared that Mike was the announcer at one of Harry’s tracks. Kyle discusses a book club series he is running with the book. 

It is a fun book so far - “I haven’t finished it yet, but I am loving the book!” Kyle explained after the interview. Linda requested information so that she can read the book - it is available for purchase through Amazon in digital and soft or hard-covered at a reasonable price. 

Linda is interested in putting a biography together about Harry’s life and is looking for guidance and people to help fill in the blanks. She is not a writer so there may be some assistance in the matter. Kyle offers to assist as best as he can - but he isn’t a published author or publisher, although he has played one on TV - ok, not even that. But… both of them think this can be something that can happen.

We invite you to listen to our recent conversation about BMX legend Harry Leary with one of his sisters, Linda Leary Taylor, while walking over the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, AZ.
