Larry Aubry Remembrance
May 21, 2020
When I was growing up, I didn’t understand what my father did for a living. I knew what he did was serious and important, not easily described to kids like me.

I knew this because he never came home and put down his briefcase and officially put his work away, relaxed into dinner and home life. His work was truly all encompassing, present in the most casual conversations or when he wasn’t talking at all. And whatever this work was, I assumed only he could do it. It seemed unique to him.
