Larry Finch

Age: 60

Home: Central Valley born, raised in Ventura and Maryland, Fresno resident since 1967.

Occupation: Union electrician.

Hobbies: My 1972 Pantera, a never-ending list of home improvements chores, and too much reading.

Bee reader since: 1967.

How many letters: 28 since 1991.

Favorite topics: The topics often considered taboo for polite discussion -- politics and religion.

Why do you write? Sometimes to refute others' statements, to express my own views, and just to have some fun.

Education: 90 eclectic Fresno State units, 27 years of marriage, 22 years of parenting, 60 years of life.

Family: Wife Donna; 19-year-old daughter; 22-year-old son.

Political philosophy: Liberal Democrat, but more afraid of the corporate-controlled media, Wall Street's lack of morals and the multitude of Americans unable to read between the lines, than anything the Republicans can come up with.
