My Father Richard knew Len from Highland Park. My dad gave me one of his pencil drawings which he bought from Len in 1964, entitled "Pious Serenity", which is a sensitive portrait of a religious Jewish elder who I imagined as a child, had the face of Moses. I have looked at that face all my life ( I am nearly 60 now). I feel gratitude for the man and the artist... Thank you Len!

A tall, dark, and handsome man, he was loaded with talent and gave of it generously. A pillar of NSSBE who will be sorely missed. May his memory be a blessing!
