November again...you are still remembered here in England Steve.

His family must be...

Steve, It was your wonderful work that inspired me to make contact with you across 5,000 miles, via the internet. Talking by email and telephone over the past six months allowed our working relationship to become a friendship. I was so thrilled when you told me you and Becky would make a visit to England, and so grateful and glad that we had this brief chance to meet and talk. Your presentation here, at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, England, on November 1st, was a huge success; I...

You are your great-grandma's beautiful bird. Fly high, my love. B.
