Leonard's Story: August 20, 1948 two letters

A letter from Leonard to his parents in Glendale and a joint letter from Leonard and his wife Pat to his brother Arnold. Leonard bore those bear teeth scars for the rest of his life. That bear incident came back in a slightly scary way some fifteen years later, when we were camping in California with Leonard's sons (from a second marriage): Arnold returned to the camper to report that bears were spotted at the campground trash area, then Leonard's five-year-old second son Larry ran off with a stick wanting to hit that bear that bit his father. Arnold had to grab him quick to explain that the bears are extremely dangerous (and also these are not the same one that scarred his father).
