While Larry was avoiding Corrie, she, on the other hand, was trying her best to get close to him. She wrote her father a letter asking him to invite her to his big retirement ceremony. Sadly, Larry never responded.

In his autobiography, Larry mentioned Corrie saying:

"I can't honestly say I've had that much to do with her life because of my differences with Janet. I think about Corrie all the time, but what can I really do now? To tell you the truth, I've never really known how to handle the situation, but I love her and anytime Corrie needs anything, I will be there for her."

In 1998, Corrie appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and said that she was not angry or bitter at her father for neglecting her most of her life.
