Alumni Profile: Lee Sterne ’50

We recently caught up with our very own Lee Sterne ’50  and had the chance to ask him about his ZBT experience, and where life since Georgia Tech has taken him. Here’s what he had to say: 

My family had a Food Brokerage business and wanted me to join. I spent the next 20 years with it, then, because of my wife’s health issues, left and moved west in 1967. I lived and worked for the next three years in Lubbock, Texas in the same field, then from 1970 through 1979, with another firm in El Paso, Texas. I left the food business in 1979 and became a Real Estate Broker. I semi-retired at the end of 1999. For the next eight years, I supplied information and analysis about the local market to the last firm I worked with. I began writing short stories in 2009 and switched to novels in 2013. Since then, I’ve completed and published three and am now, at the age of 96, about 60% through the fourth. have a son and daughter, a step-son, lost a step-daughter, four grandchildren, and thirteen greats. My step-son is retired, my son lives in Singapore and is head of English One at C.U.H.K. (Chinese University of Hong Kong) at their Shenzhen campus. My daughter is a C.P.A., but not active in her field.
