One day, one of the uncles took us to the Correctionville jail, had us step inside, slammed the door shut, and walked away. Larry and Micky calmed us 3 younger girls as we were sure we would never get out. The uncle came back later and said "This is what happens to people who don't behave. Remember it!" I am so glad the two brothers were there for us.
I smile every time I think of that day and hope that the Lorezen family have equally fond happy memories of Larry. ”
