The Passing of a Legend (Mr. Andrew Harris)

The Shreveport Sun ran today as usual. Just as it has for the last 30 years or so, Mr. Andrew Harris was again involved. However, today marks a historic day in the history of the Sun and the city. You see today's edition of our paper features coverage of the funeral services for Sun Editor Andrew Harris.

There he is on the front page. Looking at you as if ready to deliver one of his famous one liners, as only Andrew could do. With a straight face, and the voice of an accomplished sage, he was known to let loose some pearls of wisdom with machine gun speed.

Andrew departed this life for a greater place on Wednesday morning, April 2, 2008. A 1960 graduate of BTW, Andrew was a formidable leader in this community.

The entire BTW alum community wishes to extend its sympathy to the Harris family. We pray that you know others share with you in the loss of your loved one and our dear friend.

God can and will sustain you in the difficult days ahead. Lean on Him and trust in Him.

Thanks Andrew for your friendship and support of BTW over the years. You have earned your rest. Now, enjoy the place that was prepared just for you. We hope to see you on the other side where we can get your take on "them" Cowboys and other important and not so important issues of the day.

Condolences

The entire BTW alumni family wishes to express its deep sympathy to Coach Terrence Winn Sr. and family for the recent loss of their son, Terrence Winn. No words can adequately express our heart felt sorrow. You and your family are in our prayers.
