75-year-old Korean War veteran treks cross-country from starting point; Venice Beach California and finishes at Coney Island. Leonard Johnson first started sketching four decades ago and now completes his year and a half walk just three weeks shy of his birthday and the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.

He now plans to paint a 500-foot panoramic canvas of his experiences, including the people he met.
