At the time I met Lee I had just started tying. After his presentation I mentioned in the other message, he came off the podium and I asked him a question about something or other. Too many years, can't remember what. He did not walk away and talked to me like I was something. When I also mentioned that I started flying he became real interested in what I was flying. It was Piper Cub seaplanes. He had a Piper Cub and would fly it on skis in the winter. He was in his Piper Cub when he died from a heart attack. He went out to do some flying before he was to help Joan with a casting class. It was not the crash that killed him. This came from a reliable source. That was the only time I got to talk to him but I have talked to Joan a number of times. Tony
