Thomas Sayre came with his family from England to Lynn, Massachusetts in the early 1630's. Among descendants of Thomas were clergymen, surgeons, attorneys, ambassadors, and representatives of almost every profession.

"Simple Thoughts" is a collection of 30 poems from several genres that was written by a new author named Larry Muncy. Larry was paralyzed in an automobile accident on February 13, 1991 (almost 3 years after his father's death) on his way to a Poison, Trixter, and Slaughter concert at the Charleston Civic Center in Charleston, West Virginia. Larry was flown to a local hospital via helicopter. It was a ride he did not purchase a ticket for, but he is where he is. Larry hopes his poetry somehow helps others understand how he got there. Larry has experienced life, death, joy, sadness, marriage, divorce, addiction, and sobriety. All of these elements jump from the pages of his book while drawing readers into the poems themselves. Larry has not allowed his paralysis keep him from living a successful life, and he is proud of the fact that most of his major accomplishments have come after his being paralyzed. Larry believes failure is an excuse used by those who choose to not succeed!
