Runt's tombstone definitely says GEATHER and hs granddaughter Heather in an RR post says his first name was just one letter different than hers. Perhaps it was written wrong as Gaither years ago and just continued to be spelled that way in news stories and photo cutlines???

Dave, I always heard it was Gaither "Runt" Harris ? Do you have any race history magazine/newspaper articles  or death noticed with Gaither Harris' name in it ?     Mount Calvary Cemetery in Richmond, Va. has tombstone with "Runt" Geather W. Harris. Birth: Jun. 4, 1927 Death: Jun. 30, 1990  -- Theresa E.   names on it ? It appears that the above tombstone with Theresa E. Harris on it is an old tombstone? The death date was added later? Who is  Theresa E. ? No birth date or death date ? Was Theresa E. Harris the first wife/ex-wife of Geather W. "Runt" Harris?  I heard there was some in - house fighting(relatives, wives or both) on the location of Runt Harris' Final Resting Place ?

@jeff-gilder - Yes, this one of Runt Harris is fine. But look at Sonny Hutchins group:

and Dick Loehr group:

Yup...that one is a mess. I can't do anything with it. I may have to "re-create" those groups. Thanks, Chase!

@dennis-garrett It's a problem with many of the groups that converted from the old site. One, the member icons are too dang large which limits viewable space. Two, very large images will post - but they'll push the edit and delete buttons beyond sight as well as let text string out without wrapping it OR showing it. @jeff-gilder is aware of it. Just not sure what he has at his disposal to shrink some of those large images so that the text will wrap again.

On these particular groups....I'm not seeing any problems. I can see all the content. I'm also able to edit the photo size to whatever I choose. Some of the earlier groups....are a different story. Somewhere I saw a comment about a difference in viewing between computers (perhaps that wan't in this thread). The most common issue I see is when folks have their zoom settings above 100%. At least 7 out of 10 issues I track down are related to that. Hop this helps.

I believe Runt's first name was spelled "Gaither."
