A British comic named Dave Gorman had a mildly amusing TV series where he just traveled around the UK meeting other people named Dave Gorman.

I’d have an even easier time than Dave. Among the other Larry Whites out there that I’m not:

● The NYU business school economist (back when we were both at NYU, we used to trade mail and phone messages frequently)

● The past president of the Interscholastic Sailing Association and recipient of US Sailing’s Nathanael G. Herreshoff Trophy

● The University of Alabama’s associate athletic director for media relations

● Singer / songwriter / jazz instrumentalist

● Executive director of the Bradenton Area Convention & Visitors Bureau

● Founder of Larry White Associates, Inc., a healthcare job-search firm

● The pitcher who had late-season cups of coffee with the LA Dodgers in 1982 and 1983 (although I do have his 1983 Albuqueque baseball card)

● Owner of Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles in Phoenix, AZ

● The producer of documentaries, including Leona Helmsley - The Queen of Mean

● The poster guy for child support reform

● The gospel singer, founder and president of Larry White Ministries in Saginaw, MI

● The Vermont yoga instructor

If my parents had anticipated Google, they’d have given me a less common name.
