I remember that homeroom, Laura.  They had all the H's together- Victor Hall, Jamie Hall, Bob Hawkins, Janet Hottenstein, and you and Larry and I think Susan Gustafson too. That was over 50 years ago and proves my long term memory is still intact! Short term memory is shot though!
I was thinking of Larry in May when I learned of Gary Yearion's passing. Larry, Gary snd I were on a Little League baseball team together, Scott Rice was on it too.  We were the original Bad News Bears! The coach was Larry Hoover's father, Larry Senior! He was a giant of a man, a former New York Yankee pitcher and he had the misfortune of coaching us. It was a terrible team and I was the worst player and sat on the bench most of the year. Larry's father would look down at the ground and just shake his head in frustration. There was indeed crying in baseball. However we all survived the experience and I must have learned something because I'm still thinking about it a half century later. 
I was sad to learn there wasn't going to be an obituary for Larry. I mentioned this to a family member and she volunteered to write my obituary and make it funny. I thought about it and decided that a couple of paragraphs could never explain my life. The best obituaries are these memories- tall, lanky, kind Larry, Laura's laugh, and those home rooms of alphabetized kids. 🌹
