Leonie and Walter were both extraordinary people. I met them as a fairly young child. They were friends of my parents, and we also connected personally. Year ago, I remember Leonie noticed I was reading Krishnamurti, and spoke of how much she liked and appreciated his work too. Seeing her again years later with my husband, it was clear this she very special, with great appetite for being alive.

My best to Olga and Family, Bernard and Family and of course to Walter's daughter...

Mrs. Penney and her family attended the YMCA Camp Letts family camp for as long as I worked there. (over 20 years) She was the one that got her family together for this wonderful tradition. When she called the office, she always introduced her self, THIS IS LEONIE PENNEY! I always knew it was her before she said her name. Her voice was always so sweet. She was an amazing women, who shared her love of life with everyone. She will be missed!

I have fond memories of Leonie. She was the only one in the US outside of my immediate family that knew my family members in Holland.

I have such fond memories of Leonie and of Walter. They opened their home to us for one of the first CHEGSIG gourmet cooking feasts (real Mexican) back in the 1970's and, for several decades, hosted many other Mensa events. Walter turned me on to the armchair road rallies he loved so well. After he passed, I kept in touch with Leonie over the years--sometimes in person, sometimes electronically--always enjoying her insights and wit. I will miss her greatly. Zikhronah livrakha, may her memory...

Leonie was a very special person. She encouraged many women throughout her career. Leonie was always willing to give advice. I ran into her several years ago and she told me that she was still swimming. What a wonderful life she lead, and she will never be forgotten.

Leonie was a great woman. I'm glad to have known her.
