Did Harry help save the planet?

Harry didn't call. He didn't write. He didn't visit. He left yesterday morning to go back to VA with the teenager's high school ring among his vacation souveniers. Harry made metal-detectors and adults everywhere look bad.

The next time G sees the young man he'll have to tell him it WAS found but the finder wanted to keep it. Harry wanted to keep it because, in his words, he "worked hard for it" and "it meant something to him." If he thinks it means something to him, what does he think it means to the kid? Even more, what it means to the kid's view of his fellow man as he is just starting out in life. 

Thanks, Harry!  If you ever find yourself reading this, Harry, and you change your mind, you know where to reach us.
