HARLEY VINCENT HELLE graduated from Savanna High School in 1962. When a youngster Harley wanted to do better than his dad who had started off from the hayloft floor on stilts so Harley made stilts tall enough to start off from the mill roof. He was coming across the field when his parents caught sight of him. He thinks he scared them pretty bad, because his dad didn't exaggerate so much in front of him after that.
Harley spent some time on the road as a truck driver with his first cousin, Verle Helle. Verle was in the sleeper when Harley entered the tunnel at Wolf Creek Pass and when inside he hit the air horns. Verle flew from the sleeper to the front seat looking for that train. There wasn't any, of course. and when he realized Harley was the culprit he gave Harley an "earful".
Harley was baptized in August, 1980 and became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He is serving in the priesthood of the church. He enjoys antique cars and trucks owning a '54 Dodge and 1950 and 1952 International pickups. He is leaming the management of Savanna Pallett, 'The mill is my dad's life and it has become mine."
In 1980 Harley and TERRI LYNN TEMPLE were married. Terry graduated in 1973 from Fulton High School in Fulton, Illinois.
