Humanities and Social Sciences
Leonard describes his eating habits of donuts and fruits. His conversion to Jesus in 1967 at age 34 and general attitude in regards to a faith comes across well on tape. Assorted cutaways of his mountain, Vermont license plates, photos of hot-air balloon and in front of first mountain are all interesting; comments on city and country. Audio and video quality are good on this tape.
