From Michael Krehl :

Leonard was working with food stock and grocery goods loading the trucks carts and
trailers that would deliver supplies to the general area around Boston.

The JJ Pearce Company would become one of the largest grocery outfits to
provide goods and supplies for Americans living on the East coast of the United states.
(currently owned byKraft food)

It appears Leonard had made enough money after working a couple of years,
he got a car and drove to Orlando after graduating high school in 1936.

Leonard; “ I am going to impact millions of lives and change the world.”

The two of them went to Somerville Mass.
The two got married and then lived there through the Fall of 1938.
