Severson worked as an assist ant under Harper and Droscher played on Harper teams as well as joining in on some of the summer coaching chores.

He was graduated from RHS in 1956 and from Oregon State Un iversity in 1960. His baseball career started at RHS and with the Harper- coached Legion, where his first year as a player also marked the popular coach's first year as Legion mentor.
