Bulldog Posted August 18, 2014 Share #3 Posted August 18, 2014 Sweet..... Living close to the Dallas area I have found several items relating to General Harkin over the years. My Grandparents lived two streets over from his house on Stanford street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
