Leonard LeSourd was somewhat "famous".
What I have been able to find about him and his death, is "part" of his obituary published in The Washington Post.
OBITUARY:
Leonard Earle LeSourd, 76, an author, editor and publisher whose work included leading the monthly religious magazine Guideposts and editing books of Watergate defendant Charles W. Colson, died Feb. 5 at a hospital in Boynton Beach, Fla. He had cancer and heart ailments.
From 1951 until 1974, Mr. LeSourd was executive editor of Guideposts, which was founded by the Rev. Norman Vincent Peale, who became a best-selling author in the 1950s with the self-help book "The Power of Positive Thinking." Under Mr. LeSourd's stewardship, the circulation of Guideposts grew from a few thousand to 2.25 million ...
Other known facts:
Mr. LeSourd was the second husband of Catherine Marshall (Christian author). She had one son by her first husband (Peter Marshall) and when she married Mr. LeSourd, she helped raise his four children.
NOTE:
I just love Catherine Marshall. She wrote "A Man Called Peter" (about her first husband) which was made into a movie.
