In Memoriam
Larry Telles (1937-2022)
Larry was a prolific historian (especially the history of silent films) photographer, dancer, HAM radio operator, Porsche enthusiast, Coeur d’Alene Police Department volunteer, writer, publisher, and more. He rarely missed gathering with his fellow Writers League members and offering feedback, humorous anecdotes, and jokes.
Some of the books he wrote, including A Brief History of the Silent Screen and the Hooded Rider of Whispering Pines, can be found on Amazon..
Of the Idaho Writers League he wrote, in April, 2021:
“From the dark side, Edgar Allen Poe, a serious writer, once wrote about a gathering of ravens. They symbolize “unkindness.” The Idaho Writers League, for me as a writer, is the polar opposite. It isn’t dark, but it’s a beacon of light. It’s a gathering of writers, novice and professional, young and old. It is a place to learn the trade of writing from your fellow writers. All members are encouraged to write and the camaraderie is never ending. It will only take one meeting and you will want to join.”
Larry, you were a beacon of light to us all and we will dearly miss you.
