Events of the Novels[]
Voyager[]
According to Frank Randall, Lenny was accustomed to taking Brianna Randall to "marches and rallies and orgies in low dives."
In 1968, when Claire returns to Boston one final time, Joe shows her one of Lenny's new business cards, bearing his new moniker. Joe expresses wry amusement at his son's attempts to reconnect with his African roots, describing his long natural hairstyle and Africa-inspired tunic.
Drums of Autumn[]
In 1969, the Abernathys host a watch party for the first moon walk, which Brianna Randall and Roger Wakefield attend. Joe professes his incredulity that a bunch of MIT engineering students can't fix the color television, but Lenny points out that they are all mechanical engineers, not electrical.
