There is really nothing more I can add to what Doc said. Lee was one of the nicest and most knowledgable people I had the pleasure of knowing.
He was a wonderful friend and mentor.
He offered his assistance to us on this site many many years ago and we were so astounded by his expertise on TOD and military matters.
I support Doc and her husband in the auction and will help with the project in any way I can.
Lee will truly be missed by all the TOD fans and
I hope to get a tribute page up on this site to Lee over the next few weeks..
