Larry is a penultimate part of the Kirwans series. Bringing the story of the Kirwans from the nineteenth and early twentieth into the second half of the twentieth century. This part ends in 1987, with Fred McCoy presenting Larry with his plastic surgery residency diploma at Truman Medical Center Kansas City, Missouri. Larry established his private practice in Fairfield County Connecticut, which is where he remains today. In the interim, he commuted to his office in Harley Street in London England from 1996 until 2017 and he also maintained a practice at New York Eye and Ear Infirmary in New York City until 2020. The story hits the highlights and purposely omits individuals who might not want to be included for privacy reasons.
