Who else reads the obits? - 71Bear - 03-17-2013

Larry Harris died recently.  He was 101.  Anyone who is a keen student of California history will recognize the name of his Great Grandfather, James King of William (another story for another day).

I was also intrigued with the fact that he was named the sixth recipient of the Golden Spike Award.  Since I do not know much about Stanford traditions and awards, I am curious, what does one have to do to earn this honor? 

For you younger posters, reading obits is something that you begin to do once you get a little older.  I am continually amazed and fascinated by some of the life stories of people who live among us unnoticed until they shuffle off this mortal coil.....
