We are so very sorry to hear about Steve. We did not know that he was ill. All of us at Mark Twain Travel (Joan, Lynette, Stephanie and I, send our condolences to all the family members. He always made us laugh when he was in to see us about taking another trip. I learned right from the start to battle back when he would come up with his jokes. He was a fun person and will be truly missed.
