In the early morning of May 8, 1945, a baby boy was abandoned in a hotel room and discovered by a shocked manager. The authorities were called and the child became a ward of the state, labeled #32590A (a.k.a Larry Gagnon). Larry grew up as a foster child on the raucous streets of Everett, Massachusetts. He and his friends ran their local park like a rogue nation, lighting kerosene fires, goading police officers, and refusing to back down from a fight. Larry's foster mother, Helen Giordano, was his steadfast guardian angel during those turbulent early years. While he lived in Helen's house, she and her family did everything they could to help the boy feel safe and secure despite scarce financial resources and some disapproving neighbors who were quick to label Larry as the "state ward" and an outsider. Follow Larry's story as his struggle for identity culminates in outbursts of violence, an early enlistment in the military, and a passion for martial arts tournament fighting that would help define his life. This is the story of how the foster child, Larry Gagnon, became the man, Larry Giordano. All proceeds from the sale of this book go to support The Foster Kids of the Merrimack Valley, a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to serving the needs of foster children in the Merrimack Valley, Massachusetts, including all of Greater Haverhill, Lawrence, Methuen, Andover, and North Andover.
Larry is a car salesman working a very crooked angle: the seduction, devourment and dismemberment of his clientele-not to mention, the abduction of their children for his barren wife. Unlike most car salesmen, Larry is a lizard from a world not our own.Following the murder of his detestable wife, Larry travels to the 'world beneath many surfaces', the place where he was born, where the Queen of his kind sits upon a great oyster throne. Larry's journey is fraught with strange occurrences as he travels a path homeward to his Queen; from out the primordial sea-place of his birth-, across barren sands and through a dense jungle, following closely, always, the Path of Bone set underfoot.
The current feline tenant of 10 Downing Street, Larry, has captured the nation's hearts with his public appearances and witty Twitter feed. Larry the Chief Mouser comes from a long line of cats in UK government. For over 200 years this government has used cats to rid their buildings of mice. For a long time the animals remained unofficial, but then in the 1930s government departments started to apply to the treasury for a feline upkeep allowance. The cats thus became ‘official’ members of government and, as it turned out, well loved. There are many funny stories linked to these cats: Home Office cat ‘Peter the Great’ became a celebrity in 1958 when the public issued concerns that he wasn’t being paid enough; Peter’s successor, unusually a female Manx cat, was considered to have a ‘diplomatic background’ and thus gained a pay rise! More recent cats include Chief Mouser Larry, who appeared at David Cameron’s resignation speech, and the Foreign Office cat Palmerston, who has a substantial Twitter following. Including letters and memos held by The National Archives, plus photographs of the cats themselves, this book takes a fresh approach to what goes on at Whitehall.
Larry MaCabe is a man who needs people more than most . . . The problem for Larry is that most people have little need for him. Larry MacCabe is a retired academic, a widower, and until a chance meeting with the administrator of a care home, also friendless. At her suggestion, he adopts a Basset Hound and joins her one Saturday at the local park. He becomes a regular visitor, and for the first time in his life the member of a gang. While his new companions prepare for the annual Blessing of the Animals service on the Feast Day of St Francis, Larry puts the finishing touches to a conference paper he's due to present in Jerusalem and arranges a house-sitter. Neither the service nor his visit to Israel go to plan, and on his return Larry is charged with conspiring to blow up a church and complicity in the deaths of four people. All that stands between him and conviction is a personal injury lawyer - and things for Larry aren't looking good...
