It would seem most fitting that the son of a Main St. shoe-shop owner and its eventual proprietor for over 60 years, Chris Larsen would bring home a pair of “Ho Chi Minh” sandals, crafted from old tires, when he returned from his service in Vietnam.

The plan after high school was to buy a motorcycle and travel the country. The US Army had other thoughts drafting Larsen in 1967 and deploying him as a military police officer for the duration of his service in Vietnam ending in 1969.

Back in Gloucester, in 1970, he met Joan Eastman on The Boulevard. The two married and have four children: Wendy, Laurie, Kristie and Kyle. His wife’s brother is fellow VN veteran Willy Eastman, “we were brothers-in-arms and brothers-in-law.”
