Charles Henry Lee
Died November 22, 1964
Charles Henry Lee, III, a resident of Mexico City, committed suicide by shooting himself in the head while in his room in Silliman College on the afternoon of November 22, 1964, during the fall of our senior year.
Michael Hofmayer remembers:
Charlie and roommates John Wibel and John Taylor shared a suite in Durfee our freshman year. When Rus Wheeler and I heard the strains of Charlie’s 12-string Columbian guitar coming through the fire door separating our rooms, we found a way to open it and so began a delightful friendship including some singing with the guitar. After that year we lost track of him and were very sad to hear that he was the victim of depression on the first anniversary of JFK’s death.
