Leonard Franklin HAMILTON

This man since I was a young boy was a great part of my life, having lived in Dogtown with my family next to Esmeralda golf course, I would stop by and see Paul and get a chance to talk to Leonard sometimes.

He was so proud of Laura and everything she has accomplished! You could...
