Lenny and Leo
There is an inside joke that Lenny and Leo (black and white) were both named after the famous American composer and conductor, Leonard Bernstein. When John's mother asked if they named their newest dog, Lenny, after the composer, John jokingly said yes. John then laughed and said, “Who the heck is Leonard Bernstein?” From that time on, whenever someone inquired about the dogs names, John would reply, “Leonard Bernstein and my other dog, Leonard Bernstein. We call them Lenny and Leo”, and chuckle.
Sadly, Leo passed away on July 31, 2024. To honor him, John named their conference room the “Leonard Bernstein Conference Room.” Lenny is still going strong, though he misses his brother. He’s a bit lonely and would love it if you visited him at the office!
