Just for the record...

... Leakey is pronounced LAKE-ee.
As a young man, I lived there and was related to about every third person you'd see. My grandmother's (on my mom's side) grandpa was John Leakey, who had a ranch in the area.
He was a real western cowboy type. I heard stories of him herding longhorns from the Hill Country to the Chisholm Trail and beyond.
When I get time, I'll post a good story about the former Eagle Ranch in Real County (pronounced REE-all. Spanish).
