Matt called me the other day with the initial news about Len having some health issues . This recent news is just devastating. Our prayers are with Len and his family daily.
Len spent his life in service to the Lord as a Lutheran minister, so his eternal resting place is pretty well assured. But all of us will miss him here when his time comes.
I need to pass on one of my favorite stories about Len. In 1980 at the Wilmington Nats I was just not happy with my performance leading up to the competition. Len sensed this I think and invited me to lunch with is family. Matt was just a tyke at the time... Len listened intently to my grousing for a while, and then very calmly gave me the following piece of information that has stuck with me ever since. He said, "Bob, do your possible best, not the best possible." Thanks, Len; you changed my life that day.
