      I don't think Sarah was a Larry creation though his relationship to her may have been enhanced without the benefit of recognition by the state. His passing with such rapidity could leave a bit of a mess for his relations. I hope he had a good lawyer do his planning for him.

      Nor do I. In fact, Larry’s marriage to Sarah was very real. I have always maintained that marriage between two people is a state of mind that is expressed through the heart. They were undoubtedly husband and wife even if it was by common law. Nothing at all wrong with it.

      Driving back home from BC earlier today the following came up on my iPod playlist in the truck. Immediately made me think of Larry:

      Am sure he’d appreciate it.

              @Jolly I like TW too, but the best part was Orbison by far. I think the Highwaymen were more evenly matched. When the weakest is Kris Kristofferson, that's a pretty impressive line up.

                Did you see Elvis (the movie or in person)? MS and I really enjoyed the movie.

                        It’s a good pic. I do believe this is Larry, based on a memory of a black & white pic him standing. He & I corresponded way back. He either sent me that B&W pic or it was posted in early TNCR. He appeared tall. I’ve a good memory. That little girl could well be the mom of Spider, Wednesday & Dagger (their real names btw). I wonder if the boy is Larry’s son. The one he spoke of here.

                          For a guy who allegedly fabricated tall tales at will, he sure could have put a better shine on his stories of his kids.

                          Education is extremely important.

                            Anybody else find it suspicious that the FBI waited for a week after Larry passed, then raided Mar-A-Lago? Coincidence? Really?

                              Gasp! You mean Larry snitched on Mar-A-Lago and his “death” is just a cover story for him going into WITSEC!?

                                @LuFins-Dad Perhaps they got delayed draining a swamp somewhere filled with water moccasins?

                                One of the most colourful stories Larry told was of a houseboat on a lake at night with water moccasins. I forget all his details. I just cringed at that because I full well remember living in AL, being at a lake once, then later learning of water moccasins and all the other slithering snakes down South.

                                        @Ivorythumper his grandson was Spyder. HIs son-in-law owns (?) owned a tattoo parlor which Larry said he funded for him and his daughter.

                                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                          Yes, you're right about that -- Whitney might be Spider's mom. She was heavily inked. Nice and sweet gal. We never talked about Larry, but had some good chats on FB.
