Lee trivia:    Lee first read the book Hacking Matter while in Iraq. There's something pretty freaky about reading about the newest developments in quantum physics while washing your clothes in a bucket because there's no running water.


Lee trivia:    Lee has visited the airship museums at Moffett Field and Tillamook. He tried to buy everything in sight in the gift shops.


Lee trivia:    Lee still remembers the telephone number for the local TV station's "Big Money Movie" program (524-2555) even though the show's been off the air for thirty years. He can't, however, remember his own current telephone number.


Lee trivia:    One summer Lee raised a pet sheep. It won third place at the county fair.


Lee trivia:    Lee collects refrigerator magnets of the places he's been.


Lee trivia:    Lee puts both salt and pepper on his french fries.
