In the rugged and mountainous terrain of Afghanistan, Tyger knew it would be impossible to carry all of his books, pamphlets and hymnals with him as he ministered to the soldiers in the field, possibly many miles from his office or main base. Before heading overseas, he knew he had to find another way of doing his job.
And that’s when he called his old college buddy for some help.
Jason Harris, vice president of operations at Harris Micrographics, met Tyger at Lycoming College, in Williamsport, where they were both members of the same fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon. Shortly after college, when Tyger attended seminary, Harris joined the staff of his father’s business, which specializes in converting information to electronic formats. The company first began with microfiche technology and is now fully embracing the digital age.
Harris was glad to help his friend. Before he was sent overseas, Tyger arranged to have boxes of books sent to Harris Micrographics. Upon their arrival, Harris set out to convert Tyger’s entire library onto discs and thumb drives.
