Introduction

Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Friend, Writer, Dreamer My dad, Larry Eugene Peterson was born in Ames Iowa on Mother's Day, May 13, 1934. His dad died when he was just six years old. Larry spent most of his childhood in an ophanage and other state and federal insitutions. He Married when he was 23 and had two sons and a daughter. My dad was a self-educated man who worked himself up from the position of Core Maker at John Deere Foundry in East Moline, Illinois to holding the positition of Senior Electrical Engineer with that same company. He went on to become the Plant Superviser of Verticel Honeycomb Inc. in Englewood, Colorado. My dad, also known as The Orphan Boy, spent his short retirement in Denver, the beloved city of his youth, where he passed away in his sleep on Februrary 7, 1998. The following is a song about his childhood that he wrote, and was published and had recorded. A Boy I Use To Know (Original title "I'm A Time Traveler."©) Recorded by: HillTop Records, under a country label. Album name: America. #AM-236 --- Released: October '97. Sung by: Kathy Rider Written by: Larry Eugene Peterson. I'm a time traveler, I travel back in time. Never to the future for I'm afraid of what I'll find I travel back in time, to a time long ago. I travel back to see a boy I use to know. He's a lonely boy, a lost orphan boy. He walks all alone, no one to call his own. No one to care, no one's love to share. He walks all alone, no one to call his own. 30 seconds of instrumental music.......... I'm a time traveler, I travel back in time. Never to the future for I'm afraid of what I'll find I travel back in time, to a time long ago. I travel back to see a boy I use to know. I've seen so many tears, all through the years. There was no one to hold him, nor to wipe away the tears It hurt so much to see the boy cry. It hurt so much, I wanted to die. I'm a time traveler, I travel back in time. Never to the future for I'm afraid of what I'll find I travel back in time, to a time long ago. I travel back to see a boy I use to know.
