Lynn Lee
was on the Berkeley Police Department in the early 60'S. He said it
got too dangerous with the free speech and war protest movements. So
he went with the Federal Government in 1966 to live and work in
Panama, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Honduras
until 1988. (with a few hardship tours in Washington D.C. thrown
in.) He used to sing in a barbershop quartet while in college which
was in the dark ages before our tenor singer, Mark Miller, was even
born. |

Oak Ridge Baptist Church in nearby Portland. As a graduate of The
University of Texas, Mark is an avid Longhorn fan and still cheers
for the Dallas Cowboys. He also enjoys hunting, fishing, reading and
spending time with his family (which is a good thing if you have
four kids). His life verses are Proverbs 3:5-6, Psalm 37:4
and Galatians 2:20. |
