"Between hitchhiking more than 40 miles and staying with extended relatives, Harry was able to attend Basic High School, the nearest high school to Searchlight. While at Basic High in Henderson, he met two people who dramatically changed his life—Landra Gould, who would become his wife of 53 years and counting, and Mike O’Callaghan, who was a coach, a teacher, a mentor, and a friend. Harry Reid said of Mike O’Callaghan that he was the toughest man he ever met."
