Harris, Edward S.

To his friends and loved ones, Harris is predominately known as a nudge (non-Yiddish speakers, go ahead and look it up, and please note it doesn't rhyme with "budge"). The author's ethnic roots are betrayed by a nose whose remarkable proportions radiate his Semitic heritage like a lighthouse beacon. Harris' three children are united in a common belief that their father was born fully-formed as a grouchy adult. His long suffering wife bears silent testimony to the saying that "behind every successful man is a surprised woman."
