Introduction

That the month and day when Charles passed away is the same as the month and day when this writer was born is just a coincidence. He wed after 1936 in N.J. to Mary E. Leek, b. 1919 > N.J. < d. 1996 They have 2 children. Possibly she is a known distant cousin of Charles Leek via the same Leek family. This will be checked on further and hopefully more complete known info will be available to include here.

In 1926, at the age of only 10 years old, Charles was alive when on October 31st, Harry Houdini died in Michigan. Houdini was the most famed magician of his time and perhaps of all time, especially for his acts involving escapes - from handcuffs, straitjackets, chains, ropes slung from skyscrapers, and more. He was president of the Society of American Magicians and stringently upheld professional ethics. He died of complications from a ruptured appendix. Although he had received a blow to the area a couple of days previously, the connection between the blow and his appendicitis is disputed.
