After graduation Lee attended college, working towards a degree in political science, before being drafted into active duty during the Vietnam War.

My earliest and fondest memory of Harvie J Arberry was that he was my neighbor that lived a quarter of mile up the road in a small rural community.(Cedar Grove) His family was the very first to have a television in the community. So the Arberry's household was our social center. Harvie was sociable, easy going, and generous. My deepest condolence to the family.
