Born October 24, 1942, at Basin, Wyoming, of Howard Randall ROSS and Stella May (COOK) ROSS.

Henry ("Hank") was married on August 21, 1963, at Columbus, Georgia, to Ursula Meta ELBERT. Children of that marriage were Michael Henry, Daniel Howard, Sharon Elizabeth, and Stefan Mark. Three children of his wife's previous marriage (to James Norman POLLARD) were adopted by Henry in 1971 in Oklahoma. They were: Barbara Meta, Teresa Ann, and Manfred Dieter (who retained his last name as POLLARD). Henry and Ursula were divorced on November 15, 1990, in San Antonio, Texas.

Henry joined the Army on March 31, 1960, and was discharged March 30, 1963. He joined again on April 26, 1963, and stayed until his retirement on October 31, 1980, at San Antonio, Texas.

NOSTALGIA: At the time I joined the Army, we only used silver dollars in Buffalo, Wyoming. The only paper dollar bills were those left by tourists!
