Anecdotes of Gerald Ray (Bud) Leonard & Lillian Robertshaw Leonard

Michael Collette A few anecdotes: I'm Bud's grandson, Michael. When I was younger Nanny and Grandpa, (Bud) lived in the basement on Shannon Street. On Fridays when Joan and Deig, my sisters, finally went to sleep I would go downstairs and Nanny would make down the bed and I would hop on and we would all watch the Friday night wrestling matches on television.    6-28-19

Gerald D Leonard When I was 9 or 10, I used to take the bus downtown to visit numerous relatives . Favorite times were when I would walk over to Leonard's Tavern, close to where the Salt Palace is now. I would walk into the bar, sit on a stool, and my Uncle Bud, tending bar, would wave "Hello Gerry, grab a coke. I would walk to fridge at end of the bar, open a Coke and visit with him - so fun. Think that could happen now??   6-26-18

Debby Nihipali I remember Nanny wouldn't leave the house unless she was showered and dressed in her best just to go to the g grocery store. Grandpa used to us kids all the time, most memorable "Where is t hat doggie in the window?"    6-28-18
