While living in Devou Park for as many years as we had it was easy to get to know the park rangers, one in particular is Larry, (photo below). Larry has been a park ranger since they were established in the park, I believe but don't hold me to it that was circa 2004. I tried to run into Larry while still living in the cabin to say goodbye however, the opportunity never came, well talk about a surprise this afternoon when I found Larry parked in front of our yard, he was just as surprised to see me, after telling him how we came about buying a house in Covington I found out that he was waiting to join the Memorial Day Parade, silly me had no idea that in just a few minutes a parade was going to start just 2 blocks from my house. When Larry had to leave I went back home, grabbed my camera and off I went. The parade had a couple of surprises but in reality it was really lacking, it's always fun though to watch the candy being thrown at the kids on the sides of the road, it's like Halloween without having to do any walking or wearing of customs, you get the idea.
I found out today that Larry is the oldest active Covington police officer. You go Larry!!!
