It's fitting that the first post in this series should honor Lee Baxandall, who died on November 28, 2008, from Parkinson's Disease.
Lee was born in 1935 and is primarily known as the founder of The Naturist Society, although he was also a writer, editor and critic. His extensive obituary can be found here, and the TNS alert on his death and impact can be found here.
Baxandall's work and influence on the naturist movement is beyond measure. Aside from founding TNS, he was the first editor of Nude and Natural magazine, was one of the originators of National Nude Weekend and later National Nude Week in the United States, organized and sponsored the first nationwide naturist gathering, and founded the Naturist Action Committee and the Naturist Education Foundation.
In honor of Lee's contributions, a walkway at a naturist resort in Palm Springs, California, was dedicated as the Lee R. Baxandall Bridge.
