Hell yes! I'm originally from Binghamton and knew Lee quite well. I think it was Dave Dykeman, who you should know if you knew Lee, who told me that years ago Lee was a really good player, as was his brother.
I've lived in South Carolina for the last twelve years and hadn't heard much of anything of Lee for a few years before I moved. He used to come to The Pocket Billiard Lounge in Binghamton quite a bit for the Saturday tournaments and just to play if there wasn't anybody around Triangle Billiards in Endicott.
Edit: Lee would quit playing from time to time and I just assumed I hadn't heard about him in a while because he was in one of those periods. He did it several times since I've known him.
