Lee K. Seitz lived his formative years in the Birmingham area, primarily Homewood, throughout the '70s and '80s. (At the time of this writing in 2006, "formative years" covers about the first half his life.) He has fond memories of those times. He made the mistake of staying up late one night in 2006, updating the Wikipedia entry on the Alabama Theatre. This generated feedback from Dystopos inviting him to participate at BhamWiki and it's looking like it'll only go downhill from there. :-)

Contributions and to do

The list of Lee's contributions to BhamWiki (and potential "to do" list) is available separately as it was getting too big for this page. You can also see the photos I have contributed or, if you're really desparate, my test page. (I provide this last link primarily for my own reference because I can never remember where it is.)
