As a young boy growing up in a great family where there was always love, music, sports, hunting and laughter the old adage... "The home fires were always burning"... made it a perfect environment for dreams to become a reality. Like most young boys, Lee & his brother loved baseball. With a special advantage, he always played 3rd base and his brother always played 1st. A winning combination. His Father managed a lumberyard and was a talented carpenter. Those carpentry skills were passed on to his sons.
Born with an ear for music and at a early age, became quite proficient playing all different types of harmonicas and loved to whistle popular tunes. Plus he was a great ballroom dancer. Multi-talented. An athlete and sportsman, a prolific writer and wordsmith with a special love for photography.
World War II brought with it obligations to serve. So Lee was sent to the Dunwoody Institute. Then on to Remmington Arms in Rock Island, Ill. as and instructor and in charge of ammunition and arms for the military. Then he and his small family were sent to Camp Haan, near Riverside CA, next to March AAFB (Army Air Force Base as it was called then). Lee and his family were assigned housing on March, and he performed his duties at Camp Haan as a Anti-Aircraft Munitions Instructor... Then on to Hill AAFB in Utah where his duties were attached to the Military Police. Then on to Washington where he began as police officer and a forensic photographer for the City of Richland. Soon he was hired by General Electric/Battelle Northwest Memorial Institute as an Industrial Photographer. In his spare time he wrote sports for the Richland Villager and Columbia Basin News with the Byline; "Lee's Side". Put the final touches on the new family home, cultivated & grew fresh fruit & vegetables for the family table, played softball, bowled, played golf, a few fishing trips and still made time to take the boat out for a day of fun in the sun.
An Award Winning Industrial Photographer. Cited in many News Papers for his excellence. He received the U.S. Meritorious Civil Service Award during WWII. He received a Proclamation by the City of Richland for Volunteerism. Instrumental in bringing American Legion Ball to the youth in Richland. Refereed high school football games. A "play by play" radio announcer for baseball at KWIE. Made his first "Hole in ONE" on 04-21-1970 and bowled a 300 game at Atomic Lanes the same year.
A QUIET MAN WITH A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR THAT ALWAYS ALLOWED THE QUALITY OF HIS WORK TO SPEAK FOR HIM.
