Still kinda disappointed with me.martin of mechanical drawing class..I was only one did blueprints for a house I designed..maybe I should get an A ,nope..only thing positive about class was Jeff herilhy ate a fly on a bet..

So, so sad to learn of the passing of the inspired Mr. Harris. My deepest condolences to his family and to his wife, Beverly Harris (or, as I cannot forget, Miss Warren); their contagious youthful enthusiasm for teaching and for each other warms my memories of growing up in Granby. Since inspiration has no metric, I will merely say that he was the spiritual and intellectual launch pad for my life course. Thank you, Seth. Adios.

Seth was a demanding teacher,but he always found a way to make class enjoyable.My two Biology classes in college were made easy with the preparation I received in his class .

My condolences to Bev and family, and many thanks to "doctor" Harris for his steadfast pursuits, varied interests and wariness of too much authority...all which he imparted on us. His image, Snoopy mini-bullhorn beside him, shirt sleeves rolled up and leaning across the high black top of his lab bench...perfect.

Mrs. Harris to you and your children and grandchildren, we were very sorry to hear of Mr. Harris' passing. With all his passion for his family and the earth, he still made time to attend class reunions with his wife and fellow teacher in Granby. He had a heart as big as the outdoors he loved. It was an honor to walk beside both of you on this planet for 4 years of high school.

So sorry for your loss, was a pleasure taking care of him,,he will be miss
