Lee was a German professor at Miami University of Ohio for 30 years. Miami University is in a small town about 35 miles NW of Cincinnati almost on the border between Ohio and Indiana. But not too small - on 11/22/2009 the UNM Lobo Basketball team played Miami U. [we beat them]. Lee taught courses in German language and literature. And he retired in 1992.
He has lived in Albuquerque 16 years, at least while he isn't travelling. He and his wife Jan travel ALL OVER THE WORLD! I wish I had asked him to list all the places he has been, but he says they have been to over 100 countries and been on all seven continents. Just since joining Tombstone last year he has been to Morocco, Africa, Iceland, Glacier National Park and Vancouver. And I'm sure other places in-between. His favorite travel spot has been Kenya in Tanzania where he took fantastic pictures of animals so close you could touch them. He and his wife visited several tribes in the area and I was amazed at the beautiful colors of cloth the natives wear. One place Lee and Jan would like to go (there is someplace they haven't been??) is Papua, New Guinea.
He loves to read and his favorite book is "Come Spring" and, like others in our group, his favorite movie is "Gone With the Wind". His food of choice is Chinese. His parents were Margaret Brant Miller (1900-1960) and Harvey Franklin Miller (1898-1967). They are both buried in Lebanon Ohio. He has three brothers. His mother's brother, Marion for whom he is named, will be 104 years old this November!!
Lee is a great at extracting the data we need. His penmanship is impeccable and he is very accurate. He says he enjoys the people who are in the group as well as the cataloging of names. Lucky for us! So, Lee, I am so glad you 'registriert' and 'sie trat glucklich'.
(My apologies to Lee and anyone else if the German is not exactly correct - Ich entschuldige mich!)
