I am deeply touched by the memories of Len expressed so well in this Tribute - it's as if Len's wit, humour and way with words have been passed on to those who remember him! For me, as well as recognizing all the qualities expressed on other pages, his ability to translate French into extremely good English was superb. His rendering of "Living Freely", "Psalm of Creation" and "Young Men and Old" from the French was brilliant. And those songs are still alive in me today. You could say that the words of "Living Freely" did indeed epitomise his life and his work. I also fondly remember his ability to translate the most turgid of NCC texts and then express them passionately and coherently with the use of a flip chart! But I guess the abiding picture imprinted on my mind was of a farewell party for him when he left to teach at CIRFA in Biot in the South of France. He went off wearing my raincoat! And I didn't get it back until his stint finished there some years later. I only realised when I was looking at some photos taken at the party. And then I couldn't let go of the coat until well after it became unfashionable because it felt like part of him.
