'TRITON'
The 1969 yearbook / annual for Palos Verdes High School in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA.
This annual is interesting in that it includes the class photos for BOTH Christopher Boyce (as a Sophomore) and Daulton Lee (as a Junior) who would later become to be known as 'The Falcon and the Snowman'(see 1979 book by Robert Lindsey & 1985 feature film with the same name) for their infamous exploits selling CIA secrets to the Soviets and dealing in cocaine. (see additional info below). This is apparently the only PVHS annual in which they both appear. The book is in very good condition. _______________ Andrew Daulton Lee (January 3, 1952) is a former drug dealer who was convicted ofespionage for his involvement in the Cold War spying activities of hischildhood friend, Christopher Boyce. Lee was the adopted eldest son of Dr.Daulton Lee, a wealthy California physician and graduated from Palos VerdesHigh School in 1970. His lifelong friendship with Boyce led him into espionageactivities after Boyce, a defense industry employee with the large U.S.contractor, TRW (headquartered in the Los Angeles community of Redondo Beach),began stealing classified documents detailing how to decrypt secure U.S. governmentmessage traffic and detailed specifications of the latest U.S. spy satelliteswith the intention of delivering them to agents of the Soviet Union. Boycelured Lee into the espionage by telling him the Central Intelligence Agency(CIA) was spying on Australia. With Boyce's stolen documents, Lee traveled toMexico City, where he delivered them to Soviet embassy officials at Boyce’sdirection. Lee often used these trips as an opportunity to engage in drugdeals. Lee and Boyce made an agreement to evenlysplit the profits from the espionage ring, and Boyce had used his share mainlyfor his personal use. Lee used his split of the profits to further his drugbusiness, purchasing more expensive drugs, such as heroin, and being able togain tremendous profits by selling the expensive, hard-to-obtain drugs in theUnited States. Boyce maintained that he continued with the espionage activitybecause Lee threatened and blackmailed him. He alleged that Lee made copies ofthe stolen documents with the intention of selling them to the Chinese, butthis was false testimony by Boyce in an effort to lighten his ownresponsibility and ultimately obtain a lighter sentence. In January 1977, Lee (with top secretmicrofilm in his possession) was arrested by Mexican police in front of theSoviet embassy in Mexico City for littering. Under interrogation and torture,he confessed to espionage. Contrary to Boyce’s story, Lee never blackmailedBoyce nor did he implicate Boyce in the espionage and did not testify againstBoyce. Lee was returned to the United States, where he was convicted ofespionage on May 14th. He was sentenced by federal district judge RobertKelleher to life in prison and moved to the federal penitentiary in Lompoc,California, while Boyce received a sentence of forty years. Lee's heaviersentence for the same offense was likely due to his prior criminal record andadmitted drug trafficking. When Boyce escaped from prison in early1980, Lee was immediately remanded to another facility in Terre Haute, Indiana.Boyce approached Lee 24 hours before the escape and asked Lee to participate.Lee responded: “I came in the front door, I’m going out the same way.” Lee was portrayed by actor Sean Penn indirector John Schlesinger's 1985 movie The Falcon and the Snowman, based on thebook of the same name by Robert Lindsey. Lee's drug-dealing earned him thenickname "The Snowman," while Boyce's interest in falconry won himhis own sobriquet. Boyce was played in the film by actor Timothy Hutton. ________________ Bibliomonster Books is one of 's leading sources for original, vintage yearbooks including those featuring celebrities and notables.
