"WILD AUTO HITS TENT OF CAMPERS--COVINA PARTY AWAKENED RUDELY WHEN MOTORIST DRIVES OVER SLEEPERS--A.W. Feist and Mrs. Feist's uncle, George Leebrick, had a close escape Easter morning, while sleeping on the ground in a tent at least 40 feet off the boulevard, a short distance from Chula Vista, near San Diego.
About 2:30 in the morning, an automobile, speeding along at a rapid rate, left the highway and ran into the tent, two side wheels passing over the bodies of the occupants. The tent was picked up and carried along the rear of the auto. The driver, of Mexican descent, stopped after getting into the highway again, but while the two men were attempting to dislodge the tent, stepped on the gas and sped away, tent and all. The number of the car, a Dodge, had been taken and was later discovered by authorities near Tia Juana and returned to its owner in San Diego, from whom it had been stolen.
Just what the motive of the man might have been is not known. He did not appear to be intoxicated. The wheels passed over Mr. Feist's body across the lower part of the back, severely straining the muscles, from which he is still suffering. He was also struck by the machine about the head, having arisen slightly upon hearing the approach of the car. The weight of the machine passed over the ribs of Mr. Leebrick, the injuries causing him to be confined to his ed the greater part of a week. Both, however, were able to get on their feet immediately after the accident. It is probably that the bed clothes protected them from more serious injury."--20 Apr 1928, Covina (CA) Argus

"News of The Leebrick Family--Pleasant news has come concerning the Karl C. Leebrick family, formerly residents in Honolulu. Karl C. Leebrick Jr. was married in Chicago September 19 to Miss Lois Wicks of New York. They met at Syracuse university, where Dr. K.C. Leebrick Sr. was a member of the faculty prior to his going to Kent State university, Kent, O., as president of the latter institution. The bride is a second lieutenant in the medical corps, assigned to March field, Riverside, Cal.
The daughter of the Leebricks, Henrietta Leebrick, is now married to Laurel G. Parkinson, a chemist especially skilled in wartime work, who has just been moved to the Atlas Powder Co. plant at Tamaqua, Pa. Previously he was with the Atlas Powder Co. plant at Apco, O., near Kent.
Dr. Leebrick is now a major, taking a special course in the Army Civil Affairs Training School at the University of Chicago. He and Mrs. Leebrick are together at Chicago and both are well. He reports that the Civil Affairs school is stiff, both physically and mentally. His future assignment has not been determined, but he rather hopes it will be in the Pacific.
The Civil Affairs Training School work is preliminary to assignment to military government duties in occupied areas after these have been taken from the enemy. Already a large number of graduates of this training course are on duty in North Africa, in Sicily and now on the Italian mainland. Dr. Leebrick went into army service immediately after resigning as president of Kent State."--11 Nov 1943, Honolulu (HI) Star Bulletin
