Larry Ray Harmon

Larry, 73, was born Oct. 20, 1949, in Yakima, Washington to Jim and Carol Harmon, along with his twin brother, Gary. The twins were born 6 weeks premature, which resulted in an extended hospital stay and additional time spent with grandparents in Wapato, Washington. When they were strong enough to travel, the twins, their older brother Mike and their mother Carol rejoined Jim who was in the U.S. Navy stationed in Norfolk, Virginia. From there they traveled to many places including Guantanamo Bay, Cuba where they were stationed for three years and then on to Brunswick, Maine for four years where the family welcomed his little sister, Karen. At this point Jim had a chance to move his family back to Washington with the Navy as a recruiter, which allowed them to be closer to grandparents and extended relatives. Larry started his schooling in Wapato. The family moved to Moses Lake in 1957 and he continued his elementary through high school education; he was part of the Moses Lake High School class of 1969. These years were challenging for Larry as he navigated having dyslexia during a time where learning disabilities were very misunderstood and unrecognized. Larry joined the U.S. Navy in 1969 and was stationed aboard the USS Hornet, which landed him as part of both Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 recoveries.

Dist. 13 legislators update community at chamber breakfast

MOSES LAKE — Legislators of the 13th District met via video conference with members of the Moses Lake community Wednesday morning to discuss how the legislative session is going and what the community’s concerns are this session. “The reason that (the Washington Policy Center) wants to host these breakfasts across Eastern Washington is in recognition of the fact that it's a lot more difficult for our Eastern Washington legislators to get home and hear from their constituents and meet with their communities when they’re stuck in Olympia during session; particularly this year with the long session,” said Sean O’Brien, Eastern Washington Director for the Washington Policy Center. Sen. Judy Warnick, R-Moses Lake, and Reps. Tom Dent, R-Moses Lake, and Alex Ybarra, R-Quincy, joined the video conference from Warnick’s office.

My great escape to McCall, Idaho

For the first time in almost a year, I read a magazine from cover to cover. My life, like most people, has me running from sunup to sundown. I cram as much as possible into each day, and still feel like I don't get enough accomplished.
