| Along with "Lonesome Dove" another of my favorites was "Horseman Pass By" made into the movie "Hud" starring Paul Newman. I met Larry briefly at the Waterloo Records store when his son James was doing a live performance for a record release. I was there with my friend Sharee + when she saw Larry we approached him to say hello + when she spoke, he screamed + went + locked himself in the owners office. He was an extreme introvert + did not like to be noticed in public.
Never mistake motion for action.

| When did he pass! I just read "The Streets of Laredo" again for about the 4th time. I loved his writing style and how he developed his Characters. Sorry to hear he passed |

| Another intersting anecdote. Larry was good freinds with Ken Kesey in the early 60s, + yes they did do acid together. Ken used Larry in part as a portion of his character Randle Patrick McMurphy in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest".
Never mistake motion for action.
