Meeting Larry McMurtry

Meeting Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana

Minnetonka, Minnesota, Sept. 29, 1994

Authors Diana Ossana and Larry McMurtry talk about their new book, “Pretty Boy Floyd,” at the Borders bookstore in Minnetonka, Minn., on September 29, 1994.

On September 29, 1994, my daughter, Jennifer Burgess, and I made a seven-hour trek from west-central Iowa to the Borders bookstore in Minnetonka, Minn., in order to attend a book reading by authors Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana. McMurtry — the Pulitzer prize-winning author of Lonesome Dove, Terms of Endearment, The Last Picture Show and other monumental works — and Ossana, his writing partner, had just published their co-authored novel, Pretty Boy Floyd.

These are a few of the photos I captured that day. A million thanks also are extended to an unknown woman in attendance who used my camera to snap the photo of me with my all-time favorite writer, “Larry Mac” McMurtry. The photo remains displayed on the wall in my home office — just an upward glance away from my computer’s keyboard.
