‘Ronald Norman McLeod (1897-1977) was born in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was raised in Chicago where he attended the University of Chicago for two years before enlisting in the Royal Canadian Engineers for service in World War I. Upon his return from France in 1919, he started his career as an illustrator for a Chicago advertising agency and, to earn some extra money, playing piano for radio station KYW, Chicago. Wanting more professional independence, he and his wife moved to Paris in early 1925’. Image from https://poulwebb.blogspot.com/2021/01/fortune-magazine-part-1.html
