Lebanon native Larry Lee has died.

Lee, 32, has been missing since Aug. 4, when he walked away from the Falmouth Care Home, a personal-care facility. He was found by some hunters near a river in Falmouth.

Lee, who had an acquired brain injury, was a ward of the state through a brain injury program, according to his sister, Melissa Knight. Lee was also schizophrenic, bipolar and diabetic.

I don't want to write this column, but I feel I must.

An issue arose at last week's meeting of the Lebanon Tourist and Convention Commission meeting. It's not an issue unique to the commission, but to my surprise it has come up more than once in the last few years.

That issue: claiming that something is "off the record" at a public forum or public meeting.
