Twenty-two-year-old Miles Harris grew up around the towboat and barge industry. His father, Roger, is a senior vice president at Magnolia Marine Transport in Vicksburg, Miss., and Harris has many other friends and relatives at work on the waterways. Since he was a boy, Harris has been familiar with the life of mariners, their commitment to the job, and the essential nature of their work. He's also had an awareness of the danger of the job, including the risk of falling overboard. But it wasn't until he was in college, studying mechanical engineering at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, La., that Harris realized he could potentially do something about it. |
