Life Story
Born in Grants Pass, Josephine County, Oregon, on August 15, 1945,[1]just north of the Redwood Forest and west of the Oregon Caves in Southern Oregon, Donnie Lee aka Scott Lee was the second of three children of Wendell Orie Lee and Marilyn Maxine Miller.
VJ Day
It was the day my dad drove my mother forty miles to the closest hospital in Grants Pass, Oregon, to deliver me, that World War II's Pacific War came to an end. It was early morning and everyone was celebrating the end of the war. It was quite a celebration for my parents and the world, no doubt.
Mom was 21 years old and my dad was 23. Soon after arriving at Josephine General Hospital in Grants Pass, forty miles from home, I was born at 11 a.m. the morning of August 15, 1945. Marilyn and Wendell named their second son, Donald Scott Lee.

Donnie 'Scott' Lee's Birth. |
My grandparents, Orie Finiae Lee and Alberta Lewis Lee, owned about 166 acres about five mile out of town. They gave each of their three children, Bonnie, Wendell and Joy, ten acres of land to build a house on. Eventually, they all built their homes there on the ranch.
Dad built a small cabin first, and when it was nearly completed we move from town into a large tent next to the cabin. When the cabin was ready, in we moved. Mom was happy because she finally had running water in the house. Dad had built the cabin directly over the well so the water could be pumped up right in the kitchen!
