  1. I never knew Uncle Leo very well since we lived on the other side of country while I was growing up. As a youngster I frequently created nicknames for family and friends, and I remember that my nickname for Leo was “Uncle Pentagon.” Of course at that time I had no idea about what he did there, but the thought of working in that place stirred up all kinds of ideas in my head. Later in life I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to visit him a few times, and I always enjoyed hearing him talk about his lifetime experiences. He will be missed. With my deepest sympathies, Daniel W. Nagala
