Many thanks to all the good folks who came out to honor Lee's memory and contributions to Boquete. It meant a great deal to his family to see all his friends gathered together.
The staff at La Posada worked really hard to make the space available in the midst of their remodeling and did a great job of serving everyone (even if the price of drinks was a bit confusing!). Thank you, Karina, La Posada manager, for all you did.
A HUGE thank you to Mike Moore who assembled a terrific slide show of Lee's life based on the photos supplied by his family and friends. Thank you to BCP for the loan of the projector.
(And, will the bald gentleman who was sitting at a front table where the projector was, and who consumed a plate of nachos, several beers, and ran up a tab of $14, please return to the restaurant and pay his tab? Otherwise, it comes out of the server's pay.)
A fine celebration it was this evening to honor our friend, Lee Zeltzer.
I hope that my passing someday in the future is celebrated with the same love and camaraderie. .
As I wandering about the packed La Posada back room talking to people, I realized that I knew more than half of the attendees, and Lee's circle of friends included many of the people that I like, care about, and respect in Boquete.
You will be missed, Lee, and I promise you that I will carry on with that small slice of community responsibility that I have volunteered to takeover from you.
Really... a terrific, energetic turnout to honor our beloved friend, Lee. Thank you to all who came. Trust me, Lee is laughing at those who chose Trivia! (You know who you are...).
RIP, Lee. You are missed. Deeply.
Thank you David for coming along. It was noted. dlhx
bump....bump.....
Bump.
Very good, for the peace of his soul, in honor to an excellent friend of the Boquetenian Community, I think he was a good example of integration and solidarity for all foreigners and panamenians in our town, hopefully his lesson was learn.

With regrets, wishing that it was possible to attend the celebration of Lee Zeltzer and his inestimable contributions to the Boquete community, Chiriqui Province, and Panama; enriching the lives of countless wide-eyed expat dreamers as well as their Panamanian neighbors;
... and with the deepest respect, having observed from afar Lee's deft and artful handling of the plethora of issues, great and small, that one encounters along life's convoluted pathways ...
I am reduced to the observation that I suspect Lee would laugh right out loud with the deliciously ironic realization that, not only was his final piece published on his "Boquete Guide" blog entitled "ALIVE", but also that the ultimate Celebration of his life would conflict with ... trivia.
As is evidenced by my own relentless lurking on these pages, I have come to love not only that wonderful man, but the entirety of the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of every soul yearning to discover if, in fact, the grass really is greener in the tapestry of those hills and valleys .
Please, raise a glass from me. As always, I wish Lee's dearly beloved ones ease and grace.
With love and respect and fondness and sorrow,
Dav
Dav, your third paragraph is perfect. Lee would be laughing his ass off, though perhaps a bit perplexed that the community that he gave so much to had devolved into a "5 minutes to Wapner" mentality, legit as it may be. Everyone has their priorities, no matter how trivial, and many there have shown what theirs are. I dedicated a half bottle of Abuelo to reminiscing with my old friend about a week ago, and toasted the many adventures and fond memories we shared. Now, on to more important matters (not), "What is the first name of the New Zealand poet Tuwhare?"
Lee's memorial starts at 5. Trivia night starts at 6. Perhaps people could come by, raise a "cup of kindness" and visit for a few moments, and then go on to trivial night.
