Notes:
I believe this was written by David Boone. Wilma Walker's son.
Leonard was my grandfather. He was in construction. He had heavy equipment to build roads, bridges and put in basements and put up buildings I spent many summers with him and my grandmother Caya ( Clara Jones) in Hanover. Loved to go to Hanover Beach.
Leonard's father loved to have the latest machinery, but couldn't fix them when they broke. Leonard was good a fixing things. He loved steam engines. He had tractor steam engines and I remember driving a jeep that had a steam engine in the back with a big boiler and smoke stack around Hanover. He, also, had a small paddle wheel steam boat. Kind of a miniature of the big beautiful Ohio River Steam Boats.
Leonard helped put boats in the water in Madison when they had their annual Boat Races. Madison had one of the fastest big speed boats around in the country. Lining along the Ohio was something he really loved and he left me with many wonderful memories along the river in Indiana.
