When the fourth of Philip Rusk Leake and Anna Hardwicke Leake’s eight children was born at home in Charlottesville on July 7, 1926, the assembled family raised a cheer of “I-S! I-S!“ Because of his gender, he became Francis Hardwicke Leake, instead of Frances, and was called “I-S” by family until he died Jan. 8 looking through the picture windows at the birdfeeders outside his Louisa cabin. He was 82.
