My condolences to STEVE's family. I first met STEVE in the fall of 1970 when we were both fish in Squadron 3 at A&M. Since we both came from Houston, we went home numerous times together. After the fall semester of our sophomore year, I was sent home for bad grades. The next summer, Steve and one of our other BC-3 buddies made the effort to convince me to try to get back in. I was readmitted on a probationary basis for the summer session of 1972. During that summer, I met the girl that would become my wife. We married in the spring of 1973 and will soon celebrate 52 years together by God's grace.  Needless to say, my life was eternally changed for the better because of Steve's friendship and persistence. It was my privilege to have known him.
