Remembering My Father On Memorial Day

May 28, 2018 by FRED HARRIS in Blog

My father went off to WWII from New York’s Penn Station. A year later, his parents, his brother and my mother returned, to receive his body. I don’t know if I was there too. I was a little over a year old.

(This photo is not of my mom and dad, but I’ve always imagined that it was.)

RIP Tom Wolfe

May 15, 2018 by FRED HARRIS in Writing, Blog

 There are some people who have the quality of richness and joy in them and they communicate it to everything they touch. It is first of all a physical quality; then it is a quality of the spirit.
