Jack, who is sometimes given to exaggeration, says that his farther, Harold was the sole person on the west coast who was approved to argue before the U.S. Supreme Court. He says that Harold traveled through the Panama Canal which has just been built (it was opened in 1914) on a freight ship, landing in New Orleans. He eventually went to Washington and appeared before the Supreme Court. He wanted to practice international law: whether he ever did I do not know. Jack says that his father's adventures were written up in the Pasadena papers.
How Harold met Margaret. The story is that Harold was friends with Margaret's brother Hamish, who was also a lawyer. Harold and Margaret met at U.C. Berkeley when students there. Harold fell in love and decided not to be a priest.
The Harold Leddy/Margaret Eddie family lived at ll75 Woodbury Road in Pasadena according to the 1930 census. The house was built in 1925 and they were renting it. It still stands today.
