STAYING IN TOUCH >>

Some day a book will be written about the adventures of Tacoma brothers Leonard Haggarty and Teddy Haggarty. From their days in Hollywood - both in front of the camera and behind, Leonard's time as John Ritter's personal assistant, Teddy's artwork, their relationship with Alec Baldwin, their relationship with the Hatfields, the 30 or so businesses they've created, their run-in with Hurricane Katrina, Leonard's stint with Pres. Obama's campaign, producers of numerous local films - these two have done and seen it all. And believe us, they have no intention of slowing down. You can't turn off their brains or their enthusiasm for life.

The Haggarty brothers sent the Weekly Volcano a hand-written note from Teddy explaining their latest run-in with the famous — Pres. Obama. Four years ago the brothers and filmmaker/The Eleven Eleven co-owner Justin Peterson were guests of Rep. Adam Smith at Pres. Obama's inauguration in Washington, D.C. Of course, many strange and wonderful experiences happened to the trio during their stay, including sleeping in hotel lobbies. Anyway, Teddy painted up the cover of The New York Times' report on the inauguration and sent it to Pres. Obama. Of course, the Haggarty's received word back from Pres. Obama, and not some White House flunkk. 

Enjoy.
