Notes Joseph Gleason Harris (1910 July 6 - 1994 December 26) arrived in Penticton in 1917. At age 16 he was invited by Frank Richter, Jr., to the Richter Ranch in Keremeos, from which point he visited the Cathedral Mountains for the first time. This first visit left a lasting impression on him. Later, in 1939, Harris and Herb Clark of Keremeos launched a pack horse business which would take tourists to visit the Cathedrals. In 1944 he entered the ranching industry and in 1946 took over what was previously Ralph Overton’s ranch. This site was later home to Apex Mountain Guest Ranch. 1946 also saw the launch of a heavy equipment business.

Joe Harris and Margaret “Peggy†Burgess married 4 April 1945 and they made their home in Penticton. Together they raised seven children Mary (Smith), Ann (Van Niekerk), Eileen, Jane (Sullivan), Alice (Hancock), Dick, and Pat.

Harris was an avid photographer, and won many awards. His photographic record documents local places and events throughout the 1930s, 40s, and 50s.
