Leonard graduates from the University of Southern California on June 11, 1955. The family celebrates at the Louisiana Restaurant in Los Angeles. Included in the party are Pat's Uncle Dave and Aunt Be and Laura's best friend Virginia Rowley, as well as a couple I cannot identify, perhaps friends of Leonard and Pat's or Pat's relatives.

Leonard once told me about a couple of boatwrecks he was in. I recently encountered an article of a boat rescue reported in the April 4, 1955, edition of the Press-Courier (Oxnard, California), when Len was still a student in USC Medical School:
