Penulis: Larry Kockler

Larry Kockler was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1939. As a young man, the Navy brought him to Orlando, Florida, to serve in naval aviation. He liked Florida and stayed until his recent retirement. He has traveled much and is a story teller. So much so, that his family and friends suggested he write a book. It all started with two family history books about his Polish grandparents being denied passage on the Titanic because of an infectious eye disease. The family and younger generations were thankful for finally knowing their history. When a challenge came again to tell stories about teenaged boys, he jumped at the chance to tell the story through The Boys of Pepper Beach.
