I have a number of good memories from working with Lee, one being his wry sense of humor, and another his appreciation baseball' and the poetry of the game. I still miss him and hope Carol is doing well.

I remain glad and fortunate to have met Lee and to have worked under him at the Journal of Infectious Diseases. I really admired Lee and have fond memories of him and his dry sometimes biting sense of humor.

My condolences, Carol. Lee was, in my book, a special guy - funny, interesting, serious, and always an interesting take on whatever we may have been discussing. I'm thankful I had the chance to meet and work with him. My best to you and your family. Rick Tudor
