Just moments ago I was saddened to read in the paper that Leonard had passed away. Leonard and I graduated together from Aiken High School in 1973. As high school students, we worked part-time in Aiken\'s first Bi-Lo grocery store. Shortly after high school Leonard took a job with the City of Aiken and was instrumental in putting me in contact with the City where I went to work as a meter reader. Shortly after I started work, Leonard who was also a meter reader, moved on to bigger and better things and become a water treatment plant operator. From there I believe Leonard went to the Savannah River Site to work. I am still with the City after 29 years having held several positions the latest of which is Human Resources Manager. I have enjoyed my years working for the City. Had it not been for Leonard my life could have been substantually different. The prayers of my family are with the Ledford family in this difficult time. My God bless and bring peace to you all.
