(LC) > Vietnam 1970-71 > > When I was in middle school, (6th & 7th grade) there was a Harris who was in Vietnam & had returned & was coaching. I saw an article in the Leader newspaper awhile back that said he & his wife were retiring this year. After 7th grade, I moved to De Soto & they eventually tore the middle school down & City Hall is there now. I can't remember his first name right off hand & I do not think I have the article anymore. Does anyone here remember seeing this? Bonnie Davenport was in the article also. HARRIS JAMES BRADDOCK SP4 ARMY FESTUS MO 24APR71 S.VIETNAM 10SEP49 HOSTILE,KILLED.
