 Sometime
toward the end of 1970, we were having one of our many family cookouts which
included many of the neighbors. After the cookout we would usually gather around
and play music.
I had a
friend who played guitar and he had a friend that played the fiddle. I invited
Larry to join us.
I don’t
know how many people realize Larry was married before we got married. His
previous wife Jean came with him and listened as we played music for a good part
of a Saturday evening. Jean admittedly, was not musically inclined, but seemed
to enjoy the fun we were having.
 Although,
I don’t think she really had as much fun as the musicians. I would like to add,
that even though Larry and Jean obviously separated and divorced, we still have
a good friendship today.
They
both admitted they married too young and their lives went in different
directions. Jean is married to a wonderful man, Charlie and they live in
Sebastian near her parents and sister.
I wanted
to acknowledge their marriage and mention the relationship Larry had with her
parents. They have always treated him like a son and me very graciously. Jean
never attended any other jam sessions.
