I never met Larry in person, but I ordered a few things from him. I hadasked him so many questions I thought I was driving him nuts, so I toldhim I was sorry for asking too many questions that I knew he was a busyman. He replied to me and mentioned all the questions I had where validand he sent me the stuff I ordered. He was very patient with me andanswered all my questions very kindly. I thanked him for his greatservice. Later when I got my stuff I noticed that something wasmissing, so I mentioned it to him and he sent it right away. I nevergot to thank him again when I received the rest of my items. Now Iregret not sending him one last email.
Thank you Larry. You where a good man.
