Lift Up Leighton Fundraiser Today Olney is coming together to support a young boy facing the biggest challenge of his life.
Larry Ron Gandy was born in McCamey, Texas, in 1938 as there was no hospital in Kermit, Texas where his parents lived…his birth was quite an event as Larry had a twin, Jerry. In those days twins were not often seen. Larry’s Dad grew up, one of twelve, in Breckenridge, Texas where the family worked in the oil fields and farmed. His dad was working as a truck driver in 1933 when he met Larry’s mom. They fell in love and married in Breckenridge, Texas, where Larry and Judy would repeat their vows 28 years later.
