Larry's Story
Hello friends,
Well, if you know me then you probably have been ruminating about the nature of time. I have.
Last winter, for example, I lived at a tenth century BCE tel south of the Dead Sea, and hope to return yet this winter. This settlement was built by Solomon as part of a series of fortifications on the crossroads east and west, north and south. The spice route, perfume route, road to Jerusalem, Egypt, all here. Took care of 2000 year old tree. Discovered aqueduct. Very surreal - thinking about the Jewish presence at this sites inception(probably earlier-Abraham?) and the Jewish non-presence. The diasporas, the return....
Time - I feel that I have missed some very important things so far, but now have time to do what I want, within the limitations of being a pauper and crazy.
A brief timeline:
Armed Services: As much as I wanted to go, couldn't. Too sensitive.
Marriage: Twice
Children: Daughter Twice
Divorce: Twice
Job:Retired - State of Michigan - Worked in several areas as Landscape Architect and Financial Analyst in Housing Authority, Retirement, Purchasing.
After Fairfax, I returned to St. Louis and got a BA Philosophy/English, and moved to East Lansing for Philosophy grad school. Quit short of master's thesis, switched to Landscape Architecture. Received BLA 1977(cum laud). W...Expand for more
ent to work for State of Michigan, carefully working in a six month break or longer every four to five years.
Quit in 1983 - Moved to Israel for eight months. Moved to Houston for nine miserable months. Returned to state employment in 1986.
Studied photography at a very good community college, and received a degree(Associate of Applied Science - Photographic Imaging 2002 (magna cum laud). Mainly have worked in fine art botanical, but now doing more landscape photography.

Moved from East Lansing and spent three months in Israel, moved to temporary digs in Holland, Michigan, which brings us to today.

I feel free!
About the only person I have had contact with is Susie Leff - she lived down the street from me, and now lives in Costa Rica (I hope to visit her there), John David Bachrach, Sheila ____, who married my cousin Randy Kolker. Did see David Sugarman in 1969. Have certainly wondered about everybody.
I have been through many changes, and would recognize the larry of 1965, but accept the larry of 2008. I sincerely hope that all of you have found some happiness. Phone number above.
