first years of life.

My name is Alveta Ann Lee and this is the story of my life beginning with my birth on September 21,1946  at the home of Dr. Vince in Vici,Oklahoma.My dad was Elmer Fred Lee,a solider who had just returned from the war in Europe against the Nazis. My mom was Imo Eileen Daniels,a senior at Arnett Highschool. My dad’s family lived on a farm west of Vici,Oklahoma and Arnett was about 20 miles west of Vici.   According to the story that was told to me was that my dad first saw my mom while she was a waitress at the cafe in Arnett  and thought that this is the girl I am going to marry.  He then asked her to the VW Dance and I guess you could say that he swept her off her feet,as  he was a very good dancer. My mom was only 17 y/o and my dad was 26y/o. My mom’s dad said she could get married if she would finish highschool and graduate.

We have very much enjoyed, helping people gather, tell, and preserve their life stories over the last several years.

At this time, life has other plans for us, so we are ceasing operations at Porch Swing.
