He is gone. Lee will always be my Renaissance

Man............we just clicked when we understood

we were in NYC in the glory days of The Dwelling

Theater. There was a time when he participated

in grooming me for the unavoidable wrongful arrest;

he began the instruction of naturists to first understand

their history and glean from case law every glimmer of light that could make our case.

His locating the Florida Supreme Court's pronouncement that "mere innocent nudity" ISN'T

indecent.........gave birth to the movement in

Florida------just as we lost our network of clothingoptional beaches to the State park system.

He further found in that case that the State

Supreme Court saw that "nudity, when joined

with another kind of protected speech may itself

be shielded" gave foundation to Theatre on

the Seashore began with our wearing of the Bill of

Rights and a string of plays which comprised nudity

as well as the nude peace sign.

Only because we two Living Theatre diehards came

Collectively with a couple good ACLU attorneys did we/Florida

of skinny-dippers wrongfully arrested, but as we learned

from experience, we place ourselves on the offensive and

successfully challenged the State to make their case and

most often they neglected -------------even to enact a Fl legislative act

to criminalize just innocent nudity.

there's so much more.................. and now he's gone........

I think of him always and always will and I know, the way I

do the things I do are often as his student and frequently even

without his understanding, wanting to make him smile and be

proud of my actions and intention.

I adored him as the term Namaste' defines............the god in

me saw and was fortunate to understand the god in him......

peace, trust & love
