Steve was a good, caring person and friend. We were classmates at MHS, where we both had leading roles in the Mock Political Convention our senior year: an involvement by Steve that foreshadowed his subsequent involvement in political and election matters. We re-connected at the White House reunion and stayed in contact by email and personal visits whenever I was in Austin. We shared a love of natural and wilderness areas, although Steve saw and walked in many more of them than I have. My siblings, visiting last week, enjoyed reading his book, "There's a Bear: Right Behind You!," which recorded his love of nature and his wife, Charlotte, who shared his wilderness adventures. I was looking at it myself and thinking of Steve when I received news of his untimely death. He will be greatly missed. We will be sharing memories of him at the MHS reunion Friday evening while others are doing so in Austin.
