Dear Shirley and Val, My deepest condolences to you and your extended family. I was saddened to hear that Leonard passed away. He has been a steady fixture in my life since I was just a babe in arms. Although my visits to the French were less frequent in recent years, Leonard's welcoming smile was always as warm as ever. He now rejoins an esteemed group of 'River Rats' who, I am sure, received him with open arms and great joy. Until we meet again...
