"Forever accompanied by a glass of Coca-Cola and whiskey, Harry says he hates to drink, but people drive him to it."

Harry Truman was something of a local celebrity in the time leading up to the Mount St. Helens eruption. He ran the Mount St. Helens Lodge at Spirit Lake, and refused to leave his home on the mountain despite warnings that it would likely erupt.

Truman was killed in the blast on this day in 1980.
