Part of “The Run” on the Fifth Street corridor that included the Central Library, the subway terminal bathrooms of the Pacific Electric Red Cars, the Standard Hotel and several bars. In fact the term Red Car’d met you had sex with a client in one Pacific Electric’s street cars. Harrison posed in a great at home series, it was either at his own place or the photographers. Harrison married well, in 1961 he married the daughter of film executive James Nicholson, co-owner of American International Pictures. Harrison is still with us at 89. -Rj
