Not sure what to say?

Hello, Betty, Jennifer, Margaret and Deirdre. I was in Esfahan, Iran from 1976 to 1979. David and I became good friends. Deirdre spent several nights at our house when she was 6 years old with our son David, who was also 6 years old. I'm the one who climbed over the consulate wall in Esfahan mid January, 1979 to escape beind killed. David managed to get me on a Boeing flight 2 weeks later. He saved my life. I'd love to hear from any of you. I'm writing a story now of my escape from Iran....

I offer kind thoughts and deeply wonderfulmemories on behalf of my parents, Bob and Sherry. I probably knew David and Elizabeth so I too offer condolences. Sincerely, Chip Steiner (son).

With deep heart-felt condolences, we pray for you and your family to receive faith and strength for this very difficult time.

My father, my professor, my mentor, and my muse. You will be missed
