Larry stopped by Harps in Rector on Wednesday night to say hi on his way through. He left a couple of his company caps as souvenirs.

His loyal canine friend "Mister" was with him, as he is on all his trips.

We have invited Larry to join us for the annual chamber banquet in April to be honored for his help to our community.

What a great guy!!
