Author: WHL44 Surnames: HARRIS, SIMMONS, KALNARAUPS, KOSS, KEIM, BECK Classification: obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.michigan.counties.wayne/17980/mb.ashx Message Board Post: HARRIS, Allen George "Al" Age 77 Of Detroit Died on September 16, 2009. He was born on September 6, 1932, and raised in Kalamazoo, the first child born to V. Ward and Ione (Simmons) Harris. He is survived by Darlene, his wife of 53 years; daughters Shaugn (Art) Kalnaraups of Dexter, Gwyn (Gordon) Koss of Milford; son Todd (Anita) Harris of Huntington Woods; five grandchildren, Alexander, Teresa, Ilze, Olivia, and Emma; brothers Phillip (Shirley) Harris, James Harris; sisters, Carolyn (Merrill) Keim, Doris (Steve) Beck and many dear friends. Al enjoyed the outdoors. He spent a great deal of time in the woods outside of Kalamazoo in his childhood. He initiated his family to camping early on, and when introduced to the beauty of Temagami, Ontario by a colleague, he bought a cottage on the Lake which he and his family have returned to every summer for 40 years. He had many special friends there and kayaked daily, exploring the lake and photographing nature. Al also loved bird watching, keeping a life list and identifying ! birds wherever he traveled. Playing competitive sports was an important part of Al's life. He played football for Kalamazoo Central High School, and won a football scholarship to Kalamazoo College. His interest turned to other sports as he got older. In his twenties, he focused on golf. Upon hitting a hole in one at St Andrew's in Scotland, he decided that he needed bigger challenges. He turned to basketball until his knees could no longer stand the punishment, and finally started playing tennis, which would become an obsession for much of the rest of his life. As he became older, he played numerous tournaments and was ranked nationally for his age level. Al had a long-time love of Britain. It began when he was stationed there in the Army during the Korean War, followed by many return trips to see friends and backpack its scenic areas. He took his family with him there on sabbatical in 1971/72 when he studied at the London School of Economics. Al met his wife, Darlene, in P! aris. He was on leave from the Army, and she was touring Europe post-c ollege. The couple returned to Paris together many times to commemorate the start of their romance. Experiencing the world through travel, often through backpacking, was a passion for Al. While working on his Master's Degree at Western Michigan University, he was a Fulbright Scholar in India. As the years went on, Al and his wife extended their travels to more of the United States and Europe, New Zealand, parts of South America, and Southern Africa. Everywhere Al traveled, he had his camera in hand. Al loved classical music. He and his wife Darlene held season tickets to the Detroit Symphony and Detroit Opera House for many years. He could never resist breaking into a waltz whenever he heard music in triple meter. He was devoted to the Detroit Institute of Arts Film Theater where he watched hundreds of independent and foreign films. Mr. Harris was a well-known teacher at Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn, where he taught Political Science and International Relations f! or over forty years. Ever a dedicated political activist, he also contributed to numerous charitable and human rights causes around the world. A memorial service will be held at a later date. Mr. Harris was a generous man who gave to countless charitable and human rights causes. In the spirit of his giving, any memorials of remembrance that you would care to make in his name may be made to a charity of your choice.

Crawford Street is still there. If you Google it, you will find it. Not sure about any churches but I'm sure that there are some close by.

He married 3 June 1902 in Wayne Co. Michigan to Verna G. Duffin. They had Walter and Rhoda. It appears that Verna stayed in Wayne county, while Arthur moved to Des Moines, Iowa where he was married to Pauline T.. On the 1910 census the children were born in Canada, but the 1920 census shows that they were born in Michigan. Verna states she was a widow in 1930, but married on the 1920 census(Arthur states in 1918 that Pauline is his wife). What became of Walter Hopperton born about 1904 and Rhoda Hopperton born about 1906? When did Verna die and where? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

The Polish History Museum has a new timeline of Polish history entitled "Roads to Independence". It is available in both Polish and English: http://www.niepodleglosc.muzhp.pl/ The rest of their site is interesting, too. They are currently selecting an architect to build their museum. http://www.muzhp.pl/ (click on the British icon on the right hand side of English) Ceil
