Notes:

Leo was a native Texan who was reared by his Aunt Anna from the age of six months when his mother passed away due to peritonitis. He graduated from Jefferson High School, San Antonio, Texas in 1935. His freshman class was the first to attend the new school on the far north side of San Antonio. The hardships of the Depression caused Leo to work several jobs. Shortly after starting school at Rice University in engineering, limited finances necessitated his switching his career. As a result, he had a 20 year military career with the Navy as a pilot. He flew Catalina seaplanes on patrol in the Western Pacific Theater until the end of World War II. He also served in the Korean and Viet Nam wars. Upon retirement, Leo returned to San Antonio and began a second career as a commercial airline pilot. He flew internationally and retired in 1976. He loved flying and was an excellent pilot. in his combined 38 years of flying he had a perfect safety record. The true love in his life was Sara, whom he met when she and her sister happened to be visiting a mutual friend in the hospital. Even though he did not know which of the girls was Sara, he called the McGehee house and asked for the girl in the blue dress. They were married not long after. Leo had served as deacon and elder in the Church of Christ and spent much time doing volunteer work.

Notes:

Sara comes from a prominent family of Jacksonville, Florida, who rallied to the needs of the community during the Depression by sharing and providing meals for those in need. Her mother was an invalid for many years and Sara provided care for her siblings. She graduated from David Lipscomb College, Nashville, Tennessee with plans to become a registered nurse. However, during nurse’s training she sustained a severe knee injury which forced her to redirect her quest. She was told that she would never walk again, but undauntedly overcame that. She was a member of the Church of Christ where she actively served in various programs.
