A music scholarship was established at Lee's college, Appalachian State University, Boone, NC in early 2005. 

Hopefully, through your donations, various benefits and the sale of Lee’s CDs, the fund will be able to help MUSIC students at Appalachian for a long time!  (Please consider donating to Lee's fund when your company does its annual fund-giving.)

Lee never got the chance to travel much in his short life.  Friends and family have an on-going quest for his "spirit" to visit all the places he never got to go while still on earth.
