Following graduation, Harry earned a master’s degree in Asian studies at the University of Wisconsin. In 1966 he joined Chase Manhattan, serving as country manager for South Vietnam during the war. In 1978, he was named chief credit officer for Chase, later heading the bank’s home-mortgage unit. His 30-year banking career included service with American Express, and as chief credit officer for Meritor, Anchor, and Dime savings banks.
