More detail on this person: Larry graduated flight school, as a warrant officer, he was so proud. I don't think he was home a week, when he took his motorcycle that evening, to meet friends the next morning to go fisning, some 75 miles down river from New Orleans, where he grew up as a kid. anyway, The Officer at the funeral told Dad and Mom that more of his men died on motorcycles than in training. I appreciate your listening.
