Very good letter by Dr. Liebeskind. I knew Lee over the last dozen years. I am sure Lee would like me to add that his passion in his later years centered around evangelism in spreading the Christian message. He was good at that too, a real leader and inspiration to many.

I can only hope that Mr. Eatons legacy lives on and on....his honesty and integrity, generousity in sharing his knowledge and experience -- the hallmark of a respected horseman and true gentleman. He is one to emulate. Our industry can show its respect by paying it forward as he did.

No disrespect to Mr. Eaton who I knew for many years and have the greatest admiration for but he was not the first to use professional showmen. As he freely stated many times he picked on that from the late L. Clay Camp who died last year still holding the record for being the consignor of the highest priced yearling sold at Saratoga.

Mr. Eaton was a great innovator and salesmen along with running a tight ship, who freely passed on his wisdom. He was straight shooter and a honorable man to deal with.
