Richard Crunelle Jr.<br /><br />I've got a very cool old pic of Leonard at a studio with a bunch of students, but not much else. Funny thing is that when I was in highschool I discovered I have a talent for sculpting. I guess it runs in the family, but I never persued it.<br />Gene was a photographer. He filmed a lot of medical procedures, and he invented some specialed camera, or photo process. I've got some really cool old photos from him. My favs are of actual airplane dog fights from WWI taked from one of the planes!<br />Anyway, if anyone else has info on Leonard, please share it!
