I will try to write more in the coming days about the Sunday, Sept. 23, Celebration of Life held in Larry Boehmer's honor at his home of the blues, the Zoo Bar....it was an amazing day of love, laughter and music and so many of us really felt Larry's spirit was there with us. Please keep Larry's family in your thoughts and prayers.
