Memoirs — Denise NeedhamLetters to LeeDenise Needham has been a pioneer in the women’s and lesbian communities of Southern Saskatchewan. She is a skilled commercial carpenter and has taught many other women and men building and repair skills. In response to questions about whether she had problems as a female carpenter she says, “Absolutely none. People want a good job done. It doesn’t matter if you are a woman or a man.” On March 14 2012 Lee Anne Tennyson, Denise’s lover and life partner of twenty plus years, died. Denise began a blog Letters to Lee to help capture her memories and to share them with those wanting to know what the experience of losing a life partner is all about.
SRSD is grateful to Denise for allowing us to publish a few of her messages. To read the entire Letters to Lee visit Denise's Blog at deniseneedham.blogspot.ca.
