Larry got involved in a car accident (2009-01-10)
Larry was involved in a car accident, which occurred on Jan. 10, 2009, in Marina. He was not taken to the hospital, but is suffering from minor injuries with some chest pain. He had called Gil right before Gil was about to call him. He said he had been thinking about us (the club). His new year's resolution was playing more table tennis, but he has to take it easy for now. Everybody knows that nothing can keep him down. Our best wishes and prayers for Larry and everybody involved in the accident. We'd like to see him soon on his nice bike again! - He is now back with us!
