“It was many years ago that Leo helped me create a shadowbox in miniature of a part of a room in my parents' home. He even electrified the box. Without his genius it would never have come to pass. It is a treasured piece on display in my parents' home, to be handed down in the family. I always enjoyed Joy when going to their house as the project developed. With each request, Leo would look at me and smile that smirk and say, "It's gonna cost you." It was worth it. With love, Scottie McDaniell”
