Lee and Mei Ling, I am so saddened to learn about the death of Professor Leslie Young. Leslie was a great scholar and inspired me a lot when he supervised my PhD thesis. Best wishes to his new journey in another space.

Lee and Mei Ling, We were so saddened to hear of Leslie's death. Such an intelligent, witty, and charming man. Our thoughts are with you both. We hope that we can get to Levin for his memorial service down the track.

Lee, I remember how you and Leslie kind of adopted me when I arrived at Canterbury in 1977. It was much appreciated.
