    Henry H. Gray

    Henry H. Gray is a geologist. During a long association with the Indiana Geological Survey in Bloomington he has authored a number of scientific and technical reports and geologic maps. In retirement he has turned his pen primarily to essays for his family, but now and then a poem appears unbidden in the mix. Some of these verses have appeared in the Meadowood Anthology, a quarterly publication by and for the residents of the Meadowood Retirement Community in Bloomington.
