Episode 81 - Next Lawyer Up with Ron Sykstus featuring Laurence (Larry) Guggino, Jr.

Next Lawyer Up Podcast with Attorney Ron Sykstus

This podcast is very personal to me. I have known Larry Guggino since both of us were about 19 years old. Larry and I were Sigma Chi Fraternity brothers at the University of Arizona in Tucson. Talk about a great place to get educated, plus having some fun along the way! After our freshman year, Larry’s parents purchased a townhouse that five of us lived in, located in the foothills of North Tucson. We had a great time in a wonderful place to live and, on top of it, the rent was very reasonable! I was also with Larry when he met his wife of thirty plus years, Karen, so we have a lot of history together. Once he graduated from Arizona, Larry attended law school at St. Mary’s School of Law in San Antonio, Texas and then moved back to his hometown of Los Lunas, New Mexico where he has practiced law ever since. Larry is with the law firm of Griego, Guggino and Associates and, as part of his law practice, Larry has served as the primary attorney for the Village of Los Lunas, New Mexico for the past several years. I really wanted to do this podcast in person with Larry but the current climate, of course, prohibits that. As a result, this is my first Zoom podcast and it was easier than I expected and went better than I thought it would! One of the many things that I’ll always remember about Larry was the talk about the Luna Mansion and the history of that region. I hope you enjoy my trip down memory lane with Larry.
