In the 1980s, Lee began focusing her skills as a singer/songwriter and has since produced two compact discs. She calls her original tunes "Country Rock Gypsy Funk."

Among her many accomplishments, Lee was voted Outstanding Teacher of the Year at Oklahoma State University in 1980, and Oklahoma's Outstanding Young Woman in American in 1980. In 2002, Lee was honored to carry the Olympic torch, exemplifying the theme of "Light the Fire Within."

She loves to spend her time writing her own music, building indigenous lodges, camping and riding her horses. She is most proud of living her life on her terms and from shying "away from social prescriptions, overcoming many obstacles, and becoming a successful, affluent, land-bearing Bohemian in the international corporate arena."

Lee currently lives in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Her birth date is November 8, 1944.^[2]

Survivor

Being the oldest member of the Yasur tribe and having a knee implant prior to the game, Scout heavily handicapped throughout her Survivor game, finding herself either struggling at challenges or sitting out when the tribe had the luxury of having an extra member. However, she was part of a majority older women alliance led by Ami Cusack, which helped Scout from being voted out.

On Day 11, Scout was unanimously selected by the tribe to be their chief. However, the position only guaranteed her stay on the Yasur tribe as she, and Lopevi's chief, Lea Masters, were asked to draft new tribes. Scout selected Eliza, Leann and Ami to stay, and have Travis Sampson and Rory Freeman from Lopevi to join them (the odd player out, Lisa, was given the choice to join either tribe in which she chose to return to Yasur). Scout's apparent lack of athleticism became integral in Yasur's four-challenge losing streak. Scout followed Ami's lead in voting out Bubba, but went against her when Ami decided to eliminate one of their own, Lisa. Yasur went on winning the following two challenges, rendering Scout safe for one more round going to the merge.

At the merge, Scout's handicap continued to hurt her in challenges, but it was offset by the women's 6-4 voting majority over the men. In the first three Tribal Councils past the merge, Rory, Sarge and Chad took the fall, leaving Chris Daugherty as the last man standing, though Scout had few feeble attempts to oust Eliza.

When Ami decided to swerve the vote against Eliza before finishing Chris off, Scout and her closest ally Twila found the right time to strike by informing Chris, who then informed Eliza of Ami's underhanded plot. Despite Eliza's contempt and distrust towards Scout and Twila, the four joined forces, eliminating Leann and Ami in succeeding Tribal Councils, effectively disbanding the all-women's alliance.

With Ami gone, Eliza became fed up by Scout and Twila's hubris. She hoped to gather Chris and Julie, who were out for a reward, to oust them. However, Chris joined Scout and Twila, blindsiding Julie after which Eliza followed.

By winning the Final Immunity Challenge, Chris voted out Scout, citing Twila's uncompromising personality would make her an easier opponent to face come Final Tribal Council. Scout became the final member of the jury.

At the Final Tribal Council, Scout lauded Twila for her upfront and aggressive game, while called out Chris for his apparent pandering, which Chris somewhat admitted in his closing remarks. Scout gave her vote to her close friend Twila, who lost in a 5-2 vote.
