Larry graduated from Indiana University about 35 years ago with a graduate degree in education. However, he still remains a loyal Packer fan, Wisconsin cheesehead, and an active Red Cross volunteer. Presently, he, like other educators near retirement, thinks the computer age technology must be used with discretion and taste. Some of his more meaningful experiences focus on aquatics and photography here and abroad. The writer of this brief article, or book, is a member of the John E. West Scout Fellowship and F.A.B.I.
