BTW, the obituary says he played “Taps” at the race track. If he did, it would probably bring everybody down, since Taps is played at military funerals (and brings me to tears every time I hear it). When I talked to Lew about his playing
at the track, he was playing the usual “First Call.”
Just thought I’d offer a correction.

Very sorry to hear, my condolences to his family.
I only met him 3-4 times and I was struck by his warmth and friendliness.

Tom – thanks for remembering Lew and directing us to his obituary, which mentions his involvement in birding and Golden Eagle Audubon. I remember birding with Lew on the Christmas Bird Count in Boise, umpteen years ago.- Rattlesnake can provide exact years 🙂
His Flckr page is out there which shows his love of birds and skills in capturing them – wonderful bird photos. What better way to remember Lew!
