She enjoys swimming in the lake (where she met her husband at summer camp), canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding and just splashing around and having fun. She also loves to go to local baseball games and root for the Pittsfield Suns in one of the last remaining ballparks in America with a wooden grandstand. They visit Friendly's for strawberry ice cream cones and sundaes, and spend time visiting local historic sites.
Leslie grew up in Forest Hills, New York and after college started writing advertising and catalogue copy for large department stores as well as public relations for several non-profit organizations sponsoring the arts.
