Leeds Family,
so sorry to hear about Mr. Leedom. I remember him from many years ago when I spent many after school hours in the NCR pro shop with my parents, Jim & Jo Rudolph. I learned how to count change back from all those green fees at NCR. I remember Don as always being very polite and a great golfer. may he have many more great matches with the old gang. Sincerely, Suzi Rudolph
