The Virginian-Pilot, (Norfolk Va) Sunday May 29, 1966

I'm Sue Kilpatrick, Leo's wife. He's recovering from recent knee replacement surgery so I told him I would respond to your e-mail.
 
David Nelson was my husband's best friend throughout high school and long before. Tragically, he did drown while out fishing with my husband's father and brother, Bobby, and another friend of the family. So the Leo cited in the newspaper report was his dad, Leo J. My Leo is Leo T.
 
Leo and I were living in Ohio at the time of the accident. Needless to say, we were  shaken by David's death and by the close call of his brother and father. David was a wonderful friend - a sweet fellow who had a lot of potential.
 
We looked at the Cradock website and were very impressed. Thank you for all the hard work and time you've devoted to the project. Those Cradock days were magical, weren't they?
 
God bless you,
 
Sue Kilpatrick
