Here is a picture of attendees of the Winter Haven, Florida, Lions Club meeting which was heavily involved in the development of the research that went into the publication of “The Coordinated Classroom” by DB Harmon. Notables in the picture include: AM Skeffington, third from the left on the bottom row, Dr. Ward Halsted on Skeffington’s left, then DB Harmon, and Gerry Getman next to Harmon.


This retrospective article in which Gerry traces the history and evolution of his visual developmental philosophy. It was published in the April 6, 1972 issue of The Optometric Weekly (Volume 63, Number 14, pages 321-331)

In the gift that keeps giving, the treasure trove of material from 6 very large boxes sent to me by Jeffrey Kraskin from his father’s library, were two LP records which were done by GN Getman entitled, “The Four L’s of Learning to See”. I searched for this on the web and AI came back with some text, which I could not find at all. With some assistance, the records were digitized and can be listened to here.
