I enjoy writing poems and lyrics reflecting my views of society. I like to write what I call unification pieces. We, as a society are basing our relationships on our political ideals over personal friendships. The theatrics of politicians and activists are driving wedges into our society further isolating social groups. We as a society, may never be on the same page but we can at least be in the same chapter. Right now, we are not in the same book. Hopefully we can come I am a 72 year old Navy veteran of the Vietnam war. Overcoming several health challenges (High Blood Pressure, Parkinson's and kidney decease), I have had a pretty rewarding professional career in industry and owning my own business. My wife of 46 years, Dorothy and I have raise four children and worked side by side in a successful business. We have three handsome young grandsons. I love writing poems and lyrics and playing my guitar. Dorothy loves to paint landscapes and still life in acrylics and other mediums. "There Was A Lane" features some of our works the last 46 years. We hope you enjoy it. Larry & Dorothy Anderson
