Lee, named Lora Lee Clark at birth (are you happy now Mom), was born in Tampa, Florida. I earned my bachelor's and master's degrees at San Diego State University. After graduation from SDSU I taught at Southwestern College for several semesters. I joined the US Army almost 2 years ago and was trained as a Network Operator.  I leave for Officer Candidate School 3 weeks after the wedding (Brad leaves for OCS in Sept.) and I will be a Second Lieutenant by October.
