Larry (Lorenzo) Cintorino:  

), art talent seems to be inherited. Myself and my Maternal Grandfather Ronald Thomson, Great Grandfather Peter Thomson and Cousin Ron Thomson the 3rd, and many others all seem to be good with paintbrush and canvas, well we all have our gifts. My father's side had/have musical gifts (I tinker with my piano, myself). You can find many Cintorinos on the internet who are musicians (as well as Cosa Nostra, lol). I really enjoy having friends over for movie night and dinner, and enjoy meeting new people and especially love going to the beach and I'm definitely hooked on Ebay. I love studying foreign languages, especially German which I took in high school and college as well as Dutch, Norwegian and Swedish. Forever trying to kick the smoking habit, I also have an occasional glass of red wine or Import beer, but not the way I used to party in my wild 20s (probably to counter the repression of my childhood/teen years; any psychology majors out there?). I love all kinds of music from Pink Floyd to Beethoven. I try to avoid negative people and have no patience for bullies or liars. I seek out honest, sincere and kind people (animal lovers are a big plus) Anyone with whom I went to school, and reads this, will know which category they are in. Since school ended, I have uprooted and or/traveled quite a bit and feel like I've lived several lifetimes in my 48 years. I've lived in LA., Anderson, SC and Syracuse, NY also taken trips to Cincinnati, Washington DC, The Virgin Islands, Florida, and Canada and can still honestly say I consider Lake Ronkonkoma 'home'. For all its flaws and outrageous property taxes and of course the "Curse of the Lake", it's like a comfortable old shoe. I'm in the phone book if any old friends, schoolmates and acquaintances read this, so give me a shout; I love company. I also was a supporting character in a novel written by Keith Malinsky in recent years. If you ever get to read the book "Burying Ronald: A Confession By Mortimer Pentowski", My character is Barry Saspirilla from Lake Ronkonkoma. The author really nailed the true unique personality that is Larry (Barry). It's taken me 48 years to get to know him and Larry is a truly great guy. Maybe someone, equally nice, reading this will find out... In closing, I almost wish there had been or will be a different type of reunion in the future where only the Left-out people attended, not the "Stars" and "Perfect People", the braggarts, but the down-to-earth, "average" people, the wallflowers who were made to feel invisible by the seemingly-strong, but actually clueless ones. Remember, in life there are really only 2 emotions, NOT love and hate, but LOVE and FEAR. Loving people can give and receive love, but people who live in fear act out by hating. Live to love and love to live. Best wishes to everyone reading this. Thanks for reading my "bio". Ciao, Larry "Lorenzo" Cintorino
