Leslie worked for his father in a photo studio in Lansing, Michigan. From 1930 to 1931, Leslie started a second studio in Owosso (Shiawassee County, Michigan).*
With the depression, Leslie returned to the Lansing area and shoveled sugar beets at a sugar factory, which was, at best, only intermittent work during harvest. He later moved, with his first wife and two daughters, to Ft Frances, (Upper Ontario, Canada).**
Upon his return to Michigan, he re-married. He and his second wife, Esther, had a son named Jim and lived in south Lansing in the 1940s.
