I didn't really get to know my Uncle Lee but through family. I did get to meet him once briefly when Aunt Cory came to visit and we met at the airport. My sincere condolences to the family and my cousins.

I was a fraternity brother of Lee's at the University of Oregon after he transferred from Stanford. Lee was an avid outdoorsman who loved the the land and worked to preserve it.

I met Lee through the Sierra Club many years ago and he joined me in service on the Southeast Oregon Resource Advisory Council where we jointly worked to improve BLM management plans and build and maintain good working relationships with the consumptive use representatives on the RAC.

My condolences at your loss.
