Glad he's recovering. EL is one of the *good* things about Detroit. Hope he has a few more books in him.

I hope for his recovery!!

The mind that gave us, “Get Shorty!”, is the same mind that gave us the story and movies, Tom Selleck’s “Saber River”, and Burt Lancaster’s “Valdez is Coming”.

If not a few more books, at least some of his wisdom recorded, and placed on YouTube, to be accessed by all young aspiring writers!

Ave’!

Prayers For Mr. Leonard’s recovery.

That being said, I am surprised the see “Detroit” and “Hospital” in the same sentence. I did not know that there were any of them left.
