When I was stationed in Germany (1970-71) I bumped into Len coming out of my mess hall. He was doing work on base for the day. Small world right? We talked and made arrangements to meet that weekend at the lake that where he drowned. We met went swimming and had a good afternoon. You know Len, he had a few of his buddies and we had a wild time! It was a few weeks later when my mother wrote me asking if I knew Len from RR informing me of his drowning. It was one of those OMG moments! I was shocked and saddened of the news..RIP

I remember him being really good looking. I would see him walking down the hall with his girlfriend and he always looked like the coolest guy on earth. So sorry to see that we have lost such a great guy....................................
