Welcome, Rob H., I see the name Robert is still alive and well
in the Harrison lines.
I have not seen the name Proctor before, but I have Cooper.
It is great to hear from Montana Harrisons - following the
pioneer tradition. If you will send me your line I will put this
in our data base on the web site. Any clues I see I'll
get back to you on. Glad to have you aboard.
