'The Hound of Heaven'
This is a treat for the ears and the heart.
Harry is a rare and blessed one indeed -

Join us for a delightful discussion with a truly amazing man - Mr. Harry Lawrence. A graduate of the Caulkins School, then Lookout Mountain Elementary, then Baylor School, then Washington and Lee University and UT Memphis Medical School and then Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Hear how his family was a very familiar household name in Chattanooga for decades as their family business served many folks. Harry shares about his service in the armed forces and how it led him to his ultimate vocation in medicine. He even helped to oversee the residency program for new eye doctors here in Chattanooga for many years - and loved it. Harry also shares about what the Episcopal Church has meant to him over the years and how the’ hound of heaven’ finally came for him. Also powerful in Harry’s life has been his work abroad and he kindly shares how he served through medical missions around the world.

Claiming he is 92 years young, you have to hear this amazing man, - he surely means 29, not 92!

Please don't miss his advice for each of us as we navigate today's troubled world.

Harry - thank you for making my job so easy and for the good laughs - you did great!

Residents of both town communities are invited to attend the "Lookout Says 'Thank You'" event at Canopy coffee from 9 until 10 am Wednesday morning October 4.
This is the Lookout version of the national Coffee with a Cop event that is held nationwide on the first Wednesday of October in communities across the nation.
The first event of this national program on Lookout was back in the fall of 2020 which was handled as a coffee drop off event due to the COVID pandemic and social distancing.
This year will see the return of the Lookout Mountain version of this event which is more than Coffee with a Cop but rather, coffee with EMS, Fire and Police - all together. Both Georgia and Tennessee communities are of course a part of this event and both Chiefs plan to attend as well as some of the new members of each department.
Lookout Mountain has been very fortunate in so many ways and one of those is certainly that we have well trained and certified first responders especially in the medical field.
