Larry was the original "THE MAN" When we were at Western Illinois U, I once saw him challenge the football team's champion hot dog eater to a contest at a buffet south of Macomb. Dozois BURIED that 300 pound Center devouring more hot dogs than that guy could begin to match. I made big money (for those days) betting on Larry the benefits of which we shared. Seriously, Larry had a progressive sense of racial awareness at a time when that was imperative...and he acted with integrity.

Larry sat in front of me in homeroom all 4 years. I always found him to be "up" and fun with a great sense of humor and very comfortable to be with. When I learned of his "transition" at the 25th reunion, I was saddened. Thank you James for sharing Larrys insights and concern for diversity. That's one of my "biggies" too.

And he always sat acroos from me in home room...what I remeber most, other than the fact that he was a great guy, is that his hair was always perfect!!!

 Larry and I were very close friends, along with George Meyers, Michael Roach, and others in our "gang", all of us attending William Beye grade school. I kept in touch with Larry, and his wife Carol, up until and through his illness. I believe he passed in the 70's.

Larry passed away 10 Feb 1980 in Eugene, Oregon.

Here's is a photo of Larry and his buddies playing a board game c. 1955.  From left: Unk, Roy Kessman, Larry Dozios, George Sells, Mel Marini and (back to camera) George Meyers.
