| Originally from Long Island, New York, Leslie was transplanted to Fort Worth in 1975 and she loves being a Texan! “When I was seven years old, my family was on a road trip to visit relatives in Ohio,” said Leslie. “I asked my dad what direction we were heading.” “West,” he said. “Oh good, I thought as I drifted off to sleep in the back of our station wagon. Maybe he’ll forget to turn off and we’ll wind up in Texas.” Leslie and her husband Gary share a love of travel, golf and grandkids-not necessarily in that order. They have three children, Gary, Jennifer and Stephanie, and six grandchildren, Lauren, Christina, Gabrielle, Lexi, Calvin and Wesley. |
