Turns In The Road

This edition of SPOT-Light will re-introduce you to an Online Media Committee alumnus, Lawrence “Larry” Farrell. Like most of us when we left active teaching, Larry had no plans to join the NBSRT when he retired in 1997, but his plans changed after he was encouraged by a retired teacher to become a member.

Learn more about Larry’s life journey HERE.

    Just when you think you know someone, you learn a whole lot more. Larry – you’re a painter? And fluently bilingual. Wow! Even more impressed than I was before! Glad you’ve finally received a little overdue recognition.
    We miss you on the OMC and hope all’s well.
