Lee Franzen

Hello Nad!

I'm stunned to hear you were friends with Lee Franzen! Eventhough I never met Lee in person, he became a good friend of mine. I got to know him several years before his death and still have a silver coin he which he had sent me as a gift back then. He was a really great person.

Best wishes,

Christian

After the dump hunt and the bottles,we had to be at his place for Supper.While at the dump I picked up three  small saucers and three cups from a very old childs play set. If anyone has ever had a meal there, the water is served with the meal, coffee and desert after.When Mrs Franzen was bringing out the coffee, I put those tiny sets on the table. She collected them and got quite a kick out of it.Lee got into treasure hunting after retiring from the local police force. He became a security guard at the local college,and started reading the local history books. He said the events happened locally,  there has to be something left,and bought a metal detector.I think was a Tesoro dealer. We panned and found gold in No Dak, where there ain't any, and nearly got eaten alive while the gold was being sloshed out of our pans.. I have two flakes in a vial some place.. All kidding aside, Lee and I were total opposites, but, together , we could do the impossible..One of these years, I'll post some pictures.Thanks for stirring up the memories..Cordially Nad
