J.R. Harris presented with the CFI 2013 Chris Davis Award
J. R. Harris, better known as “Junior” in the flooring industry with his big cowboy hat and boots, was honored as the second recipient of the Chris Davis Award for his numerous contributions to installation. Junior was instrumental in establishing CFI in the Maryland area.
In the early years, Junior relates a meeting with Jim Walker at a Karastan Convention and as it always does when Walker is involved, the conversation includes flooring installation. Jim said, “I have a dream that someday flooring installation will be recognized as a vital part of the industry and be performed by qualified professionals.” Junior immediately replied, “I want to be a part of that dream.”
