Today Harris Publishing is owned
and operated by three of Darryl's
sons: Chuck, Jason and Ryan. We
purchased it from our father in
2008. Darryl currently spends
much of his time writing books,
varying from fictional novels to
family histories. He and his wife
Chris, both happy and healthy, are
enjoying retirement with their five
children, 23 grandchildren and one
great-grandchild — with more on
the way.
As we celebrate our 50th
anniversary of this magazine, I
can't help but reflect on the past
years and the people who have
made this happen:
First and foremost, my mom
and dad, who took a risk in 1971
and started this business in the
basement of their home.
Mel Erickson, a man who has
taught me so much about life and
business, not as much through
words as by example. He worked
for Harris Publishing and Potato
Grower for over 30 years.
