Laurence (Larry)'s Story

I am not sure why the Lord is teaching me as much geography as He is. Currently, I am living in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I have spent most of the last year living in Islamabad, Pakistan. I have many interesting stories about that particular life experience. This week I was in India for the third time in two months. We are launching a product to provide the 75% of the world¿s population that does not have a bank account with a secure, easy to use low cost technology to manage their funds. In the early 80s, I got into the Cable TV industry. First in marketing and later in operations. I made stops in Boston, Tampa, Shreveport, Kansas City, Los Angeles, and Cleveland. When the industry in the US consolidated in the mid 90s, I began to look at opportunities overseas. We spent from late 1997 through early 2000 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia building a ¿culturally appropriate¿, multichannel system for the King. In 2000, I was CEO of one of the six original tier one internet backbone companies. In 2002, I ran the second largest Cable TV company in Japan out of Tokyo. In 2003, my wife, her niece, her niece¿s husband and I started a company to allow people without bank accounts to pay any bill over the internet through a network of local retailers. I separated from John Winchester¿s sister, Gail, in 1983. We were divorced in 1986. Gail and I have one son, Laurence C. Scudder III (Beau). Beau is attempting to become the world¿s first Rock Violist. His band is Ryan Montbleau Band. They started their year with three weeks in the Caribbean (US & British Virgin Islands). When Gail and I separated I lost most of my primary contacts with folks from Bethany. My current wife (married in 198...Expand for more
8) and I own a house in Fort Worth, Texas. Gaye is the President of the company, Transaction Management, LLC, we started in 2003. My hope is that you will want to continue to want to communicate after this e-mail, because I really love you guys. I would like to chat about where to eat and where not to eat or stay in Dodge City, Kansas City, New Orleans, Mexico City, San Francisco, Possum Trot, Kentucky, London, Paris, Prague, Riyadh, Jeddah, Bahrain, Karachi, Mumbai, Delhi, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Seoul, Taipei, Tokyo, Okinawa, Grand Cayman and Hong Kong. What it is like having brazed ox male organ set down in front of you, because you could not read the menu in Mandarin and simply pointed at the menu when ordering. How different it is to manage a work force in Japan, Pakistan, India, Saudi Arabia, the Czech Republic and the United Arab Emirates. What it is like to live in a country that has public executions every Friday morning in the City Squares of their largest cities. What is the difference between Eastern and Western Culture from a practical experience. What the Muslim faith is really like and how it is really practiced. What it like to have Muslin friends you love try to convert you. What it is like being married to a woman who can write a book, because she started the first woman¿s call center in Saudi Arabia where woman ¿can¿t work¿ and she did not speak the language. The joys of owning a ¿66 Sting Ray ragtop for fourteen years. The experience of having Chiefs season tickets on the front row of Arrowhead on the twenty yard line behind the Chief¿s bench since 1989. What¿s involved restoring a Red ¿66 GTO with 22,000 original miles. Where to get the best steak on the planet.
