He considers that to be his higher education in learning more about the puzzle pieces that comprise world history, culture and life-styles. This is his eighth book about travel experiences and a biography on the life of his then 8-year old daughter, Mary. Larry is a product of the American Midwest, had a long career with the U.S. Navy and a short six year career as an English teacher in Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam and Nepal. He has a lifetime record of voluntarism and reaching out to the less fortunate. A passionate reader, Larry has had the pleasure of being a book lover from the time of his first baby book long ago.view less
