Skinny-Dipper Shop
In January 1990, TNS decided to make use
of its Oshkosh office storefront on Chief
Street by starting the Skinny-Dipper Shop.
The shop sells magazines, T-shirts, DVDs,
books, and other TNS products. It was
also a walkin source for people looking for
information about local skinny dipping
opportunities.

Excellent photo of him, Phineas and Johanna frolicking in a
Verdant tropical pool, the one from a previous World Guide...he and
Johanna on the cover of N Magazine while they were at the
INF Congress in Europe...his astonishing sense of humor and wonderful
speeches at TNS Parties, and his unyielding defense of
naturism... Lee on the TNS nude bus tour of Europe (but especially his nude grocery store shopping in Cap d'Agde).
Amazing honour to have been granted the 2006 Baxandall Naturist
Leadership Award "in recognition of special volunteer service on behalf of naturism."
Lee has left us an unparalleled naturist legacy, but above
all, his love and loyalty made him our amazing buddy.
Blessed us!
