Luca Esposito, known as Lou to his friends, grew up on a small farm located near Duluth, Minnesota. When Lou was sixteen years old, his family took in Lester Moore, a 12-year-old beaver who remained with them for the next two years. In time, Lou took over the day-to-day running of the farm, assisted by his pretty wife, Claire. Lou’s parents, Emilio and Gianna, lived on in the big farm house with their son and his wife to the end of their days.

This terrific portrait of Lou was drawn by the very talented  Vick-Carel. Carel combined the individual portraits of Lou and Claire into a single piece that you will find here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/64782309/ Please give it a fave and show Carel some much-deserved love.

Lou and Claire are featured in my book, Beaver Damn! Lester Moore Tales. Beaver Damn and all of the books in my Long Division series are available in paperback and electronic format at https://www.ld-books.com for readers age 18 and up only.
