Oklahoma City – Larry Stream, 57 has autism and lives at Quail Ridge Assisted Living.
Patia McManus who runs the kitchen and dining room where Larry lives said in the News Channel 4 article that Larry does not like using new technology and added:
“He still uses a cassette tape, an eight track and a VCR.”
So when his VCR stopped working he was determined to find a new one.
Patia told that when Larry entered the dining room and he was standing there Larry said,”Patia, you have to call Scott Hines.’” however Patia did not know where to find one so she enlisted the help of their KFOR engineering team and they found a spare one to donate to Larry.
Last Friday was the day of the big surprise.
News Channel 4’s Scott Hines told Larry:
“We brought you something. We heard you needed someone in your corner.”
As well as being a movie Buff Larry is also an artist and over the years he has sketched News Channel 4 personalities, including Linda Cavanaugh, Kevin Ogle and Scott Hines. Son this surprise was a big deal for him.
