He fell in love with the Spanish culture over forty years ago, when he stepped ashore in Spain as a chaplain in the U.S. Navy. For a time he and his wife Ruth raised their young family among the sherry bodegas of El Puerto de Santa María (Cádiz). As they enjoyed life with their sons in a Spanish neighborhood, they grew to appreciate the intimate dimension of Spanish life, where children are cherished and family ties are central. After retiring from the Chaplain Corps as a captain, Don founded LaTienda.com with his wife and sons. They all visit Spain regularly. The company is now one of the finest providers of Spanish food in the U.S., supporting artisanal and small family firms. In 2009, Don received the Admiral Pedro Menéndez Friend of Spain Award from the Society of Spain for his outstanding leadership and dedication on behalf of Spain and Spanish culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"What Don has done with our beloved Iberia is dig into its essence.

I doubt that there is another American or North European who has had over these forty years (since Harris's early years as a Navy chaplain in the American base in Rota, Cadiz) as wide an experience of the many parts and many foods of Spain. It's a blessing, frankly, to have 'Don Don,' his wife Ruth, and their extended family inscribe here their long experience, for us to savor in so many different ways, in so many different Spanish places, in so many different vignettes.\" —James W.
