Lee Otis Burton is a popular topic of conversation here occasionally. I've known Lee for over 20 years now and I can tell you he is perhaps the most genuinely good person I've ever met.

There was a very good chance that he would never be able to walk again. I've attached a video updating his progress. Bear in mind that when he went into the hospital Lee was 6'-8", 285 pounds and looked like he could jump right into the DL rotation.
