By Meg Jones
May 18, 2014
Richard H. Leonard always knew he wanted to be a newspaperman — correction, make that editor — ever since he worked on his fifth-grade newspaper back in Ridgewood, N.J.
And he did just that.
In 1967, Leonard was named the sixth editor of The Milwaukee Journal. He served longer than any other editor in the history of the newspaper, with the exception of Lucius W. Nieman, who founded it in 1882.
