About the Author

Larry Garfield is a retired psychologist who spent most of his working life as an Employee Assistance Professional. He now lives in the small colonial city of Fredericksburg, Virginia. He lives there with his beloved wife Catherine, who prefers the moniker "Cat." They have been married for 43 years and have 3 children and 4 grandchildren. Larry says he originally wrote this story for his kids and grandkids to show them that there were things that occurred in his life before they were even imagined that helped him become who he is today. "AWOL Anyone?" Is his first and maybe his only attempt at public story telling. He says the writing of it was fun but the publication process was a stressor. He hopes that you enjoy it.
