During his time in the Army he received the Army Commendation Medal and Expert Rifle. After his time in the Army he went to school for his teaching degree. Larry found himself teaching in one capacity or another all his life, even if it wasn’t in a formal classroom. He took great satisfaction in making something with his two hands a satisfaction that was hard to explain to someone that never had done it.

This is why he chose to specialize in Industrial Arts.
