I worked with Lester for a number of summers at Camp Willoway and came to know both Lester and Beulah quite well over those years. It was the two of them who convinced me to go back to school and earn my MSW degree at Adelphi University. My most sincere condolences too Abby and Mean, their families and all who will miss Lester. May his memory be for a blessing.
