    Our friend and Hero! Seeing Lee on the program has made our day! Sadly I didn’t know he was interviewed until just now (things kept me from listening to the podcast) but none-the-less, what a gem! Thank you so very much for the interview and for the stories that interviewing him brought out. We are so very fortunate to have Lee in our lives because of the remarkable man that he is and all that he has given to the world.
