His story spans decades; his job as an AP photojournalist took him to many places in the country and the world; often gone for weeks. His family missed his presence and his wife and he became increasingly estranged. Her genetics took her to her coping skill of choice; drinking. For years her drinking was hidden until it couldn't be hidden any longer. She had been a closet drinker, convincing the kids that her drinking was her husband's fault. Lee felt horribly guilty which led him to find Al Anon which he says today saved his life.
