I was asked to sharethis with the O&P List on the passing of LeRoyWilliam Nattress, Jr. PhD
Lee was with the O&P National Office as Executive Director of ABC in the1960s, and later on in the 1970’s conceived the idea for an O&P technicianschool and founded the O&P program at 916 Voc Tech (now Century College) inWhite Bear Lake, Minnesota. He also worked with Otto Bock Orthopedic beforethen (now Otto Bock Health Care) to set-up the Otto Bock education program for teachingthe endoskeleton system to prosthetists in the United States. I am sure that many here can add much more tothe contributions Lee has made to O&P.
