Lee Carter Mundell, June 26, 2023
from Melissa S. Mundell, Lee’s wife:
I just sent an email of an obituary for my husband, Lee Carter Mundell, (See below)
Afterwards I thought of some other things I should submit, in case they could be published as well.
Lee worked at WYBC in those 1960s years when music was changing so dramatically. He did a morning show and someone he did not know left a sketch of him sitting at the broadcast desk, with some of his sayings and discussions.
Lee never knew who made this sketch. If the sketch could be included with his obituary, perhaps the artist will come forward.
