Carl Leach is the lead trumpet player at Golden Era. A professional trumpet player who played in the Stan Kenton Orchestra and at top Las Vegas hotels, he has been at Golden Era for 23 years, runs the music library and played alongside Ron Miscavige. In his joint interview with Russ Greilich, Tom McMurray and McHenry Ellis, Carl notes how Ron Miscavige’s statements now about his son are the opposite of what he said about him for 27 years. “It’s so weird to hear this type of communication now coming out of this book and stuff like that, because he always validated his son. He thought his son was the best thing in the world.”
