Who knew where it would all take him?
Two weeks before Lee died, Val cooked us a wonderful lunch, and we ate in the floral courtyard at Duke Tower. Lee praised Val's creativity and the hard work she'd done to make the place so beautiful He talked with excitement of his upcoming work in Africa. Of course, we talked Durham politics.
