George Landegger - Helping Harper Lee Live A Private Life

Mr. Landegger and Harper Lee had a great friendship and although she lived a private life, she spent a lot of time with her close friends. Mr. Landegger was always careful to be respectful of the private life that Harper Lee chose to live. She was not a recluse but did not like to be in the public eye. Although she did have a good group of friends who she would go out with and spend time with occasionally, she never liked to be treated like a celebrity and preferred to live in a nice but modest home in Monroeville, Alabama.

George Landegger Harper Lee died in early 2016 and while George Landegger was upset about the passing of his close friend, he now feels like he can talk about her without the fear of upsetting or betraying her. He believes that the world should know the real Harper Lee and feels relieved that he can finally talk about her life.

He contributes to numerous scholarships and helps feed hungry families throughout Alabama and in Connecticut. He is thankful to have known Harper Lee, who is credited with writing one of the best-selling and best-loved novels of the twentieth century.
