  • Notes 
    • ABT was always amazed that Leland seemed able to make money almost without trying. I would judge that this was rather in contrast to his father. -- LKL

      Leland's daughter attended the University of Illinois in the early 1940's, I have a dim recollection of her and of her father at that time. My parents felt that she wanted nothing to do with family and went out of her way to avoid them! -- LKL
