Lee
graduated from Dartmouth in art and architecture,
took a one year
wrong
turn by attending graduate school in city planning
at the University of
North Carolina, then spent his career designing, building,
and
renovating
homes. Several times during his working years he lived
aboard his own
sailing vessels with his wife and two sons, crossing
the Atlantic, home
schooling the kids, and anchoring in out-of-the-way
corners of the
world.
He is now pursuing his passion by teaching seamanship
to young people
in a
program he founded on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and
is president of
Atlantic
Challenge International. This organization sponsors

competitions every two years between the youth of many

which are
rowed
and sailed during the complex week-long competitions.
He also builds and
restores wooden boats, and is looking forward to spending
time with
Jacquie,
his wife of 33 years, in his rustic cabin on a cove
in Nova Scotia.

Don only attended St. Paul's School
for two years - joining in the 5th
form. Like John Kerry - his family was in service
overseas - so he
moved between schools quite frequently. After graduating,
Don played
sax for a couple of years with the Hasty Pudding
Theatricals in
Cambridge, Mass. He then moved to the Bay Area
- enjoying the late
60's music scene before finally settling in New
Mexico. He enjoyed
making music by night in a long string of R&B,
funk, and fusion bands -
while working by day in the construction industry.
A few years ago he
purchased a farm and he now raise horses. He continued
to play
saxophone until about 12 years ago - then decided
to quit while he was
still at his peak! He might be persuaded to play
again at an Electras
reunion. His primary hobby these days is painting
rustic landscapes
near his home in New Mexico.
