This page is created in honor of the Year 2000 Harris Reunion at Creston Iowa this July 2nd. This reunion was all put together by the hard work of Joyce Harris, and it inspired many of us to get to work on the family history. 'Biographies of Veterans' is courtsy of John Harris and the transcript of the 'Hand writen notes of Irvin Harris, 1968' is courtesy of Opal [Harris] and Howard Harris. Please feel free to contact me about any errors I've made or additions you'd like to make. God Bless.
