LARRY: “My wife and I have been married for 46 years, but we’ve known each other all our lives. When we were going through school, there was a girl we both knew who had what I thought was the most beautiful name: Precious. I always said that if I ever had a little girl, that’s what I wanted to call her. So when our daughter was born, there was never any question about what her name would be. She fits it too. She is precious. She went to Madonna Learning Center, graduated from Bishop Byrne High School, and has worked for Pizza Hut for 25 years now. She’s always been independent.”
