Kicking off my week is an invite from
Joseph and Deborah Lee to attend McDonough s annual Christmas party. Still looking over my shoulder expecting to see Billy Lee, I am overjoyed to see his legacy is alive and well with his son and daughter welcoming generations of family and friends into their 33-year-old bar.
