One of his favorite courses was a senior course designed for non-science majors. This science, technology and society course became very popular, attracting large numbers of students who were able to explore the interrelationships of science, technology and the environment in their daily living. Lee also worked as science consultant for the Peel District Board, where he wrote science curricula and presented science and environmental workshops.
His great love (other than his partner Celia and two sons, Anthony and Craig,) is music. He sang many of the roles in Gilbert and Sullivan’s operettas and currently sings in several choirs. A vast collection of opera, choral music, symphonies, concertos, chamber music, jazz, pop, musicals, rock and country & western lines multitudinous shelves throughout the Steels house and fifth wheel. Celia thanks the inventor of iPods and headphones for saving her from being as crazy with music as Lee obviously is.
Lee’s second passion is a love of sports. A self-confessed motor-moron, Lee has nevertheless coached football, basketball and baseball and continues to follow all the major-league teams on television. He has recently discovered golf but as yet remains hugely challenged by this game.
In addition, Lee can often be found poring over new books on religion. Works that deal with different approaches to faith make for fascinating reads; recent books by Karen Armstrong, Marcus Borg, Gary Wills and Harvey Cox have been mulled with enthusiasm. These scholarly authors point to fundamental changes we must make in order to become more tolerant and compassionate. Lee believes that anyone who is willing to mull can make the changes necessary to live a life of bliss and share the goodness with others. It’s all a matter of attitude and a willingness to expand horizons and become a lifelong learner.view less
