Lee and I were colleagues at South-Western Publishing Co. for over 19 years. Lee was an extremely astute marketer, always one step ahead of the marketplace in terms of knowing what educators would need next for their students and classrooms. To say Lee was an avid golfer would be an understatement; he once bet some colleagues that he could beat them all with a 7 iron and a putter. He did it! Lee was also a charter member of the South-Western Finance Committee - aka poker club. We played once a month at the various member's homes; he took lots of our money! I was privileged to attend Lee's 90th birthday party last fall. As always, it was a great time for one and all. Lee led a wonderful and full life. He will be missed.
