Dr. William Lee (1932-2020) immigrated to the United States from China at the age of 15. His academic pursuits led him to Fordham University and the State University of New York Downstate's College of Medicine. Bill enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, where he served as a surgeon with the rank of Captain in Ohio. Upon completing his military service, he settled in San Francisco to pursue his residency at the University of California. In 1969, he continued his medical practice at the John Muir and Mt. Diablo hospitals. As an avid traveler, Bill found solace in museums and classical music and opera. His deep appreciation for Chinese art led him on numerous journeys to China.
