In 1974, the Somerville family again pulled up roots and moved to the Eckville, Alberta Area. Over the course of the years, Larry became a Vibe Operator and worked in Seismic Exploration. His job took him across the Western Provinces and into the Northwest Territories. In 1994, Larry was united in marriage to Christine Harrison and they made their home in Red Deer, Alberta.
