My earlier career comprised of working as a Market and Competitive Intelligence Manager and Director within marketing organizations of small to large hightech companies and various vertical industries. I’ve been an entrepreneur and have owned and operated several businesses. During my latter 16 years with 8—layoffs, buyouts and downsizings, A software development company relocated me in 1999, where I’ve remained in the beautiful state of North Carolina and married in 2003. My educations consists of Master’s in Management from Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Canadian-born, I retained my native tongue and have been a United States citizen for over 40 years. Growing up I’d frequently hear the stories my dad would tell me about the Negro Ballplayers. Many of the Negro Leagues and Canadian teams sat and talked in diners or just sat in the fields where they played. There was no segregation there, nor racial hatred and tensions—just good, competitive games. I want to share Larry’s biography with the world, as his story stirred my soul, I hope it will do so for the reader. Larry’s story really touched me the day I met him as I progressed through the interviews, what emerged was a stream of emotions, injustices, disappointments, shocking events and laughter. It’s proven to be a very interesting, enlightening and educational accumulation of knowledge and I’m grateful to Larry for having shared his life with me.
