Lee was a full blood
Choctaw, fluent in the language. He is the last full blood in the
immediate family. Lee worked all his life; first in the fields picking
and hoeing cotton and beans. He loved being outside when he wasn’t
working and taking care of his cattle. He loved to hunt and fish. He
loved to tell stories of coon hunting and his favorite, quail hunting
with his bird dogs. He was an exceptional quail hunter. Lee loved his
family – he was always there to support them.
