Notes about Gordon Harris Gettens

I have a good story about Uncle Harris as we called him. He had trouble concentrating at school he told the teacher he didn't need to learn to read, he'd marry a teacher, he did, Jean.

One story in the family is that the teacher was setting a problem, "A farmer had 50 acres of land cleared at 2 pounds an acre..." Harris commented 'a man would be a fool to pay that much!".
