We got to know Larry and Robin as our host parents in 2010. Andreas was their guest son at that time. After we (Andreas & Sibille) met and fell in love at EC San Diego, we spent our time together at Robin and Larry's home.
Larry was a huge fan of baseball which we never really understood - he could follow the game with full interest even if it took forever. Larry tried to bring Andreas closer to his sport. After about a week Andreas got a baseball cab and a bat (plastic) which did not last long but the cap was a faithful companion for years.
After we got married 6 years later we spent part of our honeymoon with Robin and Larry. Larry took us to the military base and proudly showed us his golf course. It was the first time we played golf or tried to putt. Of course we had breakfast at the fast food restaurant afterwards.
We are very happy that we could keep in touch with Larry & Robin for so long and even today we are pleased about every Skype call with Robin.
In 2019 our daughter was born on the same day as Larry's birthday on December 11. Larry was very happy about this, somehow he is always connected with the daughter of the Princess of Liechtenstein - Every year on December 10 we celebrate our daughter's birthday before and as a special memory of Larry with burgers and fries, because we love this food and in memory of our dear host dad Larry.
