Meet The Author
Larry Farmer
I was born and raised in Harlingen on the border with Mexico on the
southern tip of Texas, near the Gulf of Mexico. I was raised with old
school values on a cotton farm.
After high school I went to Texas A&M and was
in the Corps of Cadets there. I quit in the
middle of my senior year to join the Marines,
in the hope of going to Vietnam. I also served in the Peace Corps in The Philippines. I travelled around the world between these two events in my life and saw enough to need to relate it.
I worked for eleven years in Switzerland. I married there and raised two of my three children there. I now work for Texas A&M. And finally have time to reflect on my life and its meaning. And write about it.
