Bette Rae Peterson Jones, in sharing her mother’s (Jeanie Boelens Peterson) memories of her beloved Uncle Leo, said she could only imagine her feelings.
“What I imagine is a kind uncle to my partially orphaned mother. She held him in high esteem. Reflecting on it now, I imagine it was a little like when my older brother shipped out to Butte, Mont., then on to Fort Lewis, Wash., on Sept. 8, 1970, when I was 12. The country was worried about boys getting stationed in Vietnam at that time so our whole family went to Lovell and said our goodbyes to my big brother Darrell as he boarded the bus. “
