Chris wells

Most of the complaints we get are from pedestrians. But we're not sitting on piles of money and community needs sometimes outweigh our sources.

One of the reasons I wrote this book, ... was to illustrate the impact that the death of this one guy had in the community. When Wells died, it set off a spiral of ambition. It ultimately lead to Katzenberg being let go as head of the studio after a 10-year run -- he was pushing for Wells' job.

I had the good fortune of speaking with Orson Wells many decades ago and he said 'Success is primarily luck anyway.' And I have been very lucky. Of course, Orson Wells was enormously talented and brilliant - so who am I to argue with him!

[For the first few days on campus, the Leaks lived together in Chris' apartment. But after so many years of sharing a bedroom while growing up, that got old pretty quick.] Chris said to me, 'When is C.J. going to get an apartment, Dad?' ... They love each other, but they have to have their space.

The other employees love Chris. They take care of him, and they make sure he's doing OK.
