THE HARRISON FAMILY IN PICTURES & NARRATIVE

Mary Ruth & William T. Harrison, the Matriarch and Patriarch

Mary Ruth developed her nurturing skills at a young age

As a young woman and young wife, Mary Ruth made a fashion statement whether working or at leisure

The first of the offspring were William Glenn & Thomas Gwynn, later to become the infamous Harrison Boys

Tobacco farming was not a passion for the Harrison Boys, as evidence by the really happy look on their faces

The second wave of offspring were another set of twins, Phillip and Peggy.... note the distinctive lack of smiles on their pudgy little faces

Peggy Roberta was a happy little girl who liked sleep-walking, putting out small fires, dressing-up for the Easter Parade and pet abuse.

Phil really liked black Tennis Shoes and left home at an early age to become an anti-aircraft gunner on the USS North Carolina

The last sibling to arrive was Kenny and the family was complete

School Pictures ... what a dynamic looking trio!

....and a fine farewell from those crazy Harrison hippies!
