I came across sad news late last night while I was doing some online research for the last chapter of my book. Leonard Jung, a former St. Cloud Municipal Boys’ Band member who is featured prominently in Chapter 5, died in early December 2016. He was 97.

Here is a link to his obituary (and a cool photo of him as a young Navy man): Leonard Jung obituary

Below is another photo of him, that he shared with me. He’s on the far right.

I hadn’t communicated with Lenny for several years, but I have thought about him often, especially as I near completion of the draft of my book. My dad and I traveled to D.C. in January 2008 to meet Lenny, and we spent several hours talking with him at his home in Bowie, Maryland.
