LARRY CARLSON
Larry lived right across from me on 5th NE. I met him in the 5th grade at Green Lake. There were 3 Larrys in our class (including Lannoye) and we all lived on the same street. Larry Carlson, Bill Gruber and I were the shortest guys in our class. In school, Larry was always very well dressed and a good athlete (I was just a farm boy). He was quick-witted, intelligent and always fun to be around. He joined the Marine Corps after I joined the Navy. We worked together at Todd Shipyard, and though I stayed in the Navy, we hung around together for years and years and were close to the very end. Semper Fi Larry. I miss you.
