Lennie was 14 when he died. He had major health problems and/or possible birth defects but we never talked about them. (I learned later that he'd had polio and his lungs were quite weak.) He was a very nice person and seemed to me very intelligent. His biggest interest, as I recall, was geology. He was active in Brookhaven youth activities. I always had the feeling that he knew he was very temporary.
