Samuel W. Lee, III . . .

After getting out of the Marine Corps in 1988 Sam went into ranching and horse shoeing.  In 1994, Sam married his wife, Karen, and they combined their families.  2007 was the year for a change of direction and Sam took his current job with Smith Barney where he is a financial advisor.  That move also left Karen to take over day-to-day operation of their ranch.  Sam has been active in 4-H, local schools, and kids' sports.

I have a wife, Kellene, and two children (Ryan 18 & Kylie 15).  I have been happily married for 26 years.  Kellene & I grew up in Kansas, attended KU (Jayhawkers), and later we lived in Washington, DC for 10 years where I trained to be a dentist-periodontist before moving to Roseburg in 1987.

We enjoy living in Roseburg and spend our free time gardening & golfing in the summer and a little traveling in the dead of winter to find some sunny weather.  My birthday:  07-18
