I saw Lee at Camp Schurman the day before he died.  We had completed our climb and were headed out, while he was preparing to climb the next day.  Lee was his usual exuberant, energetic and friendly self, asking about my health and climbs I had done and talking enthusiastically about his climbs and the WAC.  Typical Lee:  interested in others and excited about climbing.  His death is a great loss to the WAC and to the climbing community.  He was a great guy and will be sorrily missed.
