Want to Read Some Great Writing?
Many have enjoyed reading Dr. Harry Covert’s The Covert Letter for decades, now you can do the same online with this new web site format, which will soon be available in subscription form here and at http://www.thecovertletter.com .
It has been published that “Dr. Covert’s writing style is reminiscent of H. Allen Smith. Covert, a real journalist of the old school, has met many interesting people. He once interviewed a couple doing a popular puppet show for children on local TV who the rest of us would one day know as Jim and Tammy Bakker. Covert has also been a baseball team owner, a missionary to Africa and a Virginia State Senate candidate. The man has stories to tell and tells them well. Enjoy!”
Enjoyable reading Harry. You have certainly had some great experiences, and we are better off because you shared them with us.
TYPHOON Regards,
Harry,
My children grew up watching Ric Flair and so I particularly liked the article about him. Definitely a showman. So in that context my only comment would have to be Whoooooooo!!!
World Peace,

We are in-debt to Falwell for what HE did to change Politicks.
But, we REALLY OWE HARRY for reminding us of how dedicated Falwell was.
Thanks, Harry.

Harry I met you years ago in Australia while you were traveling with Ron Godwin. You took myself and a group of students with you to the reef for a few days. Good to see you are still at it.
Harry, we enjoy the positive input of the experiences of your life into ours. God bless
Harry, Really like you webpage. Your writing has improved since the fifth grade – - Ha!
Regards, Jim Gay
Harry:
I’m delighted to meet you over the phone. I think that you have come upon an extremely worthy project in the Skeeter Swift story.
‘Remember the Titans’ was a great team story. The Skeeter Swift story is a wonderful story of a boy with many disadvantages who didn’t let anything hold him back. I look forward to your work.
Harry, just a note to say Happy Holidays and hugs and kisses to you and the family. Always know that you forever remain special to Alfred and I. May the grace and peace of God continue to envelope you. You are one in a million, let nothing change that!! I’m excited about all God is doing in and through you….2008 IS GOING TO BE GREAT!!
Dear Rev. Covert,
I was just reading an article on one website and accidently I did click on a link and was very surprised to discover your website. I like the article about your trip in the Congo, Zaire at that time.
Many blessings.
Godé
Harry, I know you will be surprised to know I read your column often. How I love to watch you write. Your neice, Donna
Some folks have
The gift of the Gab,
Harry has the gift of the Gabble.
You start out on one thing,
Change gears twice
So it looks like you’re playing Scrabble.
But then you bring it all together
And suddenly it all makes sense.
I’m glad you called that kid out at home
His hit didn’t make it over the fence!

Scott,
Thanks for your witty poem. I suppose now you’ve enjoyed poetic license. Your delightful comments are always welcome.

Hello, Harry,
I just received a copy of your article in the Commonwealth Conversations for May 2008.
I do not know if you’ll remember me or not, but my husband and I met you umpteen years ago, through local friends like Scott Hessek and his wife, and others, in the Tidewater area.
I really enjoyed reading, “The View from Capitol Square.” Your statement made me chuckle when I read, “I GOT OFF THE PORCH, TRIED TO MAINTAIN a bit of dignity. I made one more attempt to find out just why this woman had little good to say of me.” We need to laugh more, so keep on writing both the serious and the humorous side of things! We all enjoy it immensely!
If Philip were here, he’d gladly join me, too. He is with the Lord whom he loved and served!

Hi, dear Harry,
Memorial Day brings back a flood of memories of my husband’s service, particularly when he fought in the Korean War! What a horrible war it was!
I don’t want to be presumptuous, with your great schedule of writing for so many publications, but would you care to read an article I wrote, & Charisma published it, about “Three Egert Generations who went to War, & Came Home Alive?” If so, kindly direct me to the correct address.
Thank you!
If you are too busy at this time, I’ll certainly understand, & I’ll put it on the back burner until after Novermber this year. God bless you & your family & work!
In Christ,
Ruth (Mercer) Egert
Love the audio podcast of Skeeter..adds a real voice to the authorship. Thanks for sharing these great stories.

Harry,
You need to go on the road. You really are a very effective communicator. Your accent, combined with the power of the pen, create a mix for a real winner. Keep up the good work, and may your day be more productive than you ever dreamed.
Your Good Friend,
Pastor Dan Brockman
Harry, you seem to have a talent to select wonderful individuals to write about — “The Remarkable Skeeter Swift.” It is a pleasure to read and re-read your material. Thanks.
–Phil Traina, Arlington, Va.
I appreciate your website. Your writing is wonderful!
Dr. Covert:
I fondly remember you at the Hampton Monitor. Whatever happened to Dr. Warren Taylor? I enjoy your writings.

Re: Judge Dawkins
As a new law graduate, I worked with Nolan Dawkins in the City Attorney’s office way way back in 1978. Even back then he was a careful, considerate thinker. He welcomed me as a young attorney, offered sound advice, and always had a smile on his face. I’m pleased that he’s on the bench, helping direct the fate of others with his kind of fair and generous counsel. Thanks for taking me back to my ‘old’ life in the city.

Dear Harry:
I can’t believe it! You are a healing balm to irritated senses, and refreshment to a parched sense of right and wrong.
Harry… Your website if fabulous.
What a joy to hear your voice. It’s like those days when we kids stretched out behind the big old radio console and listened to what was going on in the big wide world. That was news! Those were stories. Those were real people made more real in the telling.
I loved the feature on Skeeter. And the one on “Cough up, America”. Both first rate. First class. REAL journalism. And big band music playing in the background! Could it get any better? I don’t think so. We must let the whole world know about this wonderful source of commentary. You should be the CBS evening news. If they’d hired you, they’d still have a viewing audience!
Thank you, Harry, for directing me to your site. I am stunned. And thrilled. I knew you were a writer from the old school, but I didn’t know you were “a knock ‘em, sock ‘em powerhouse kind of reporter from the days when news was actually newsworthy!
Too bad Gather has gone to the dogs. Gather used to feature really good writers and then suddenly went completely in the opposite direction. Now almost everything is simple-minded and silly. There are still some very good writers who have hesitated to leave because we have made some good friends and strong connections—but what Gather needed to do was to choose a path similar to yours. Uplifting. Classy. Content rich. Thrilling!
As I said in your comments section: “I feel as if I’ve died and gone to Heaven.”
My hat’s off to you, sir. I am unconditionally, sold out!

Your writing is inspiring in these tough times. Will be back!
Dear Harry,thank you – write more!

Harry Covert, Happy New Year, my old friend from my days in Christian Radio with Salem Radio Reps! So good to find you again.
In December 2007, when you wished a “merry christmas” to a large list of people, there was a “Shenton Lodge” on that list. Who is he? Why do I ask? That was the name of my father and grandfather, both hailing from Virginia.

Harry,
I rediscovered an old friend today named Harry Covert. Good to read your letters and know you are doing well. I am at Tusculum College in Greeneville, Tn. Would love to hear from you.

Hi Harry,
Very impressive web site. I read your article on Haiti. The work you’re doing is admirable. It’s amazing the tragedy other endure everyday. It really puts things into perspective.
4/2/2011. Hi Harry, it was not only an honor but also a great pleasure to meet you and be able to spend time with you and Norm at the Gun Show. Hopefully we will be able to get together in the future. We have so much in common. Take care, best wishes, Raleigh Boaze
Raleigh, thank you. I too enjoyed our conversation. It was a delightful afternoon and I enjoyed every second.–Harry
