2. On our walk, Linda Leary Taylor (Harry Leary’s sister) and Kyle A. Huffman walk the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City, AZ. In this short clip, we hear that there is an 18-month age difference between Harry and Linda, and that they have a younger sister who is approximately two years younger than Linda. Listeners also get to hear Linda reflect on the earliest memory of her brother - hint: he tried to shield her from a traumatic event, and vivid memory, at the age of four or younger.

We invite you to join us for this fun and amazingly insightful view into BMX great Harry Leary.
