Harris Lester Collins


This isn't so much an actual post on my blog as a place to store my photo of my biological father. This is the only photo I have of him, and it's a scanned image my half-brother, Harris' son, sent me via email years ago.

I thought it was lost forever, but found it tonight while sorting a bunch of old diskettes out.

I'm not sure at what point the photo was taken. Immediately following boot camp Harris shipped off to Vietnam and died three months later.

I've already lived twice the life span of my father.

Tonight, that brings tears to my eyes.
