July 9th is the birthday of Lawrence Kermit White Jr.: son of Col. Lawrence Kermit (Red) and Elizabeth Jane (Susan) White; brother of Susan and James; husband of Signe; father of Lawrence III, Abigail and Dagne; grandfather to Matthew and Nathaniel. I met him in the late 1960s and have known him to be our family friend, Whitey, my whole life.
While Larry recently offered an update on his life as, "just an old fart who is happily retired," his professional resume is as impressive as they come. Whitey has given much to our country with inspiring, constant and humble strength.
Today, he is a loving husband, proud father and grandfather, ham radio operator, kayaker and traveler enjoying life in Georgia. He, Jim, John, Mike and Gary have taken many trips together to explore the Finger Lakes and visit Civil War battlegrounds. He could give the Dos Equis man a run for the title "Most Interesting Man in the World!"
Happy Birthday, Whitey, and may you have 51 more healthy ones, by the Aunt Joannie Sullivan Law of longevity Aspiration of 2008.
God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.
Love, Patty
