Hi friends,
If you follow this link
(http://www.yourpublicmedia.org/content/wnpr/remembering-beloved-botanist)
it will take you to a lovely story about Les on CT NPR station with audio -
 inlcuding Les - a transcript and a few photos.
I can't remember if this has already been posted: There is a memorial 
service for Les at Storrs Congregational Church (Storrs, CT) at the corner 
of Rt. 195 and North Eagleville Road at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 12th. A 
reception will follow at the church hall.
Best,
Hildy
