I met Leonard T. when he used to come to the PSGA shows in Norwalk years ago, such a nice man and treated everyone like a long lost friend.
Chris Templeton sent me this picture to post of L.T. with some other Characters!

For the last 30 years or more, L.T. has been a regular at the Aloha International Steel Guitar Club and the Hawaiian Steel Guitar Assn. Conventions. He is a superb Steel Guitar Player.
At these conventions, he regularly played the Epiphone D8 without the volume control.
L.T. has a unique ability to play two styles: the Hawaiian style or Country/Western style.
Here is a photo of the guitar at the AISGC convention:
