I found through the years, there's hardly anyone on earth worth knowing, that Larke doesn't know already. He and Randy go WAAAAY back. Randy's been through some rough times, health wise and "others", but Larke was always there for him.

As for heights ... many may know, he WOULD NOT SET FOOT IN AN AIRPLANE. If he needed to go somewhere, if he couldn't drive, as far as he was concerned, there was no need for him to be there! I'm surprised he could work up the courage to get into a tree stand. 'Course, that may be one reason his "tree stands" were more like condominiums.

BUT ... if a copperheadedrattlemoccasin came slithering by, he'd just reach down and pick the sucker up!

Larke was a real character and a true friend. I can't express here how much I miss him already.
