Mickey Leonard Remembers

Mickey, another of W.C.’s grandsons–Orene’s son, grew up two doors south of Hill’s. His dad, Junior Leonard worked at the store for many years.

In this clip, Mickey tells us what it was like coming home from school to the store, a tale of a “life of chapstick crime,” and his brother, Scott’s ex-girlfriend who was not satisfied with Scott’s sandwich skills.

Mickey shares what it was like growing up living next door to “Grandma and Grandpa Hill” and Grandma and his mother’s love for coffee made him short.

Kids growing up in a family business have to have a game or two to play. We had Laser Tag. Here’s Mickey’s memory of one of the things that did go wrong when chasing your cousins around the store in the dark with no lights on.
