Biographical Notes:

"Larry Jene Fisher was born Lawrence Orsino Fisher on June 18, 1902 to Gustave Henry Fisher and Lena Frey Fisher near Wichita Falls, Texas. About 1916 Fisher changed his middle name to Jean which he spelled as “Jene” in later life. Fisher was truly a Renaissance man as he was an aviator, musician, photographer, playwright and filmmaker. He played a key role in the first movement to preserve the Big Thicket as a national park by photographing Big Thicket flora and fauna." Lamar University.
