I MET LEE IN THE EARLY-MID 80'S AT IRON ISLAND IN ALAMEDA, CALIFORNIA. I WAS IN MY EARLY 20'S & KINDA NERVOUS ABOUT WORKING OUT AT A NEW (NY FIRST TIME)GYM. A BUDDY OF MINE FIRST TOOK ME OUT THERE. HIS NAME WAS SCOTT GRAHAM. WHILE WE WERE THERE SCOTT INTRODUCED ME TO THIS MOUNTAIN OF A MAN WITH A BOOMING BARITONE VOICE WHO WAS VERY FRIENDLY, ENGAGING,& PERSONABLE. ON TOP OF THAT HE LIFTED THE HEAVIEST WEIGHTS I'D EVER SEEN OR IN THE GYM. LIKE THE 200 LBS DUMBELLS, HUNDREDS OF LBS OF THE SQUAT RACK, WITHOUT A DOUBT I HAD JUST MET A CHAMPION...A ICON. AS LEE & I BECAME FRIENDS I SAW A MAN WHO LIVED LIFE ON HIS TERMS. NO HOLDS BARRED. LEE HAD A STYLE & ENTHUSIASIUM THAT WON'T BE SEEN AGAIN AYNTIME SOON. HE WAS ONE IN A MILLION & A GOOD FRIEND. I MISS A LOT...REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND.
