Alaska Highway, Company D. In an interview with author Donna Blasor Bernhardt, Leonard told the following story:
One night, about midnight, he was operating a bulldozer and the D8 got stuck. The dozer’s tracks gradually disappeared under the muskeg. No one was there to help him so he decided to walk for help.
After traveling two miles he found and reported to his commanding officer. The officer told him that they would have to wait until morning to do anything.
The next morning they returned to the site. The bulldozer was not there. It had completely disappeared into the muskeg and presumably still is buried.
