R.I.P. Thomas Lee

[jbm]

A few weeks ago I was honored to be asked to help Thomas Lee campaign against Tom Self for state rep of the 116th district.

Mr. Lee was a retired air force officer with degrees in history and political science, and was currently teaching goverment classes at the local college. More importantly,he was an all around good guy.

His opponent would have been Tom Self. That's this guy:

(the part in his bio where it says, "independent businessman" translates as, "I owned a laundrymat once but it went bankrupt"

Yesterday morning they found Mr. Lee lying near the running track at the college. He had apparently died from a heart attack.

He was one of the good guys, and he will be missed.
