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 together. I am a 72 year old Navy veteran of the Vietnam war. Overcoming several health challenges (High Blood Pressure, Parkinson's and kidney disease), 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
