On a Friday night earlier this month, between 40 and 50 former BHS members, now far-flung and in late middle age, gathered at Porta Bella restaurant in Madison to swap stories. Actually, an entire weekend of events was planned, but the man many had come to see, LeRoy Lee, could only make Friday night.Not untypically, when Lee arrived, he took a seat alone at a table. Now 78, living in DeForest and still active in education, teaching teachers, Lee doesn?t seek attention.One of his former students, Bill Cronon, today one of the most distinguished faculty members on the UW-Madison campus and the Frederick Jackson Turner and Vilas Research Professor of History, Geography, and Environmental Studies, approached Lee to say hello, and thanks.
