When ever we visited Eugene, Lee made us feel so welcome in her home. Many years before we were lucky enough to meet Lee and Ehrman whilst they were in Zimbabwe. Lee was special and Lee World Travel often helped us with air travel routings to and from Asia & Africa.

My father, Steve Batori, was in partnership with the Giustina brothers in the 1950's and 60's, so we always used Lee World Travel. Lee ran a great business.
