Joanie, Larry was given the nickname "The Man" because he has been a devoted member of the RHPS community for many years and has always been there to help out anyone in need. He's also helped to organize a couple RHPS conventions, including last year's Orlando Con. Add in the fact that he runs "The Rare Rocky Photo Of The Week" site, which is one of the most fascinating RHPS web sites that has ever been on the internet, and you'll start to see why Larry can and should be called "The Man".
