I wasa blessed to ne a teammate of Ronnie's at Baylor. My senior year he came in as a freshman. Ronnie didn't say a whole, but his play, even as a freshman, did the talking for him. I knew even then he had the talent to play at the next level, and enjoyed following his NFL career. As teammates on the 1975 BU team, I grew to love Ronnie like a brother. May Ronnie "Bo" Lee rest in peace, and may his family have comfort and peace during their time of sorrow. Ken "Quiz" Quesenberry
