## Summary

Kyle, Anne-Marie, and Linda Leary Taylor walk across the London Bridge toward Harry Leary’s memorial paver. Linda shares childhood memories, family relationships, Harry’s early riding, his professional life, personal relationships, family concerns, his death, and her evolving understanding of his legacy.

## Historical significance

The physical route gives the interview a memorial structure: the conversation begins at the bridge, unfolds while walking, and concludes at Harry’s paver. Linda’s first-person family testimony preserves aspects of Harry’s life that are absent from race records and magazine coverage.
