I encourage readers to see this comment thread for various thoughts about Lee, including from several of his family members. Here is a brief piece in the GW Hatchet. My colleague Steve Balla has a nice remembrance here.
We also appreciate the kind words of Ezra Klein, Robert Farley (see the comments there as well), Chris Lawrence, Peter Loewen, Marvin King, and Steven Taylor. I apologize if I have missed others.
If anyone who would like to offer other memories of Lee, feel free to send them to me and I will publish them here.
