Steven Gregory Tyler

I never got to meet him. But he and my mother met in boulder Colorado 53 years ago. I'm hoping some family member could reach out to me.

I saw Richard Tyson on an episode of "The Closer" tonight and it made me think of his handsome friend from the MFA program at Cornell who all the girls had a crush on. I don't remember how i was lucky enough to catch your eye on campus one day, but I remember you smiled at me with your smile that could light up a room. You cooked me dinner, you were a perfect gentleman, you made me feel special, and although it was just one evening, it is one of my nicest memories of Cornell. I'm so sorry to...

Steven, I am not sure why, but you have crossed my mind multiple times recently. I have fond memories of times in spent in Santa Fe with you & friend G.T. making music, a week long sailing trip off of Florida coast you captained, and taking care of Hounder while you had to be away once in a while. (He would sit down on the sidewalk and not budge. So we had a lot of sidewalk tete a tete.) You taught me how to make Ceasar salad and Steak Au Poivre (still one of my favorite dish). Your spirit is...

Steven and Hounder in 1992. I think of you and Hounder everyday Steven. It's summer and way too hot in Dade City. Will head out to Colorado in August to see Hannah. Will be thinking of you and "Scoop" in the glorious Rockies.

When I think of you I remember all the good times we shared. I still enjoy watching the movie, Wyatt Earp, you were in. One of the many legacies you left behind...

Remember that totally random moment driving into Santa Fe in a snow storm when Janna (sp?) appears out of the blue crossing the road?

Steven,

I miss you terribly but am so glad you're free of the pain you suffered. ' it's so much better where you are. Am growing plants, modernizing granddaddy's house, and hiking with Mu'addib (Border Collie) in these hot, hot days. You would have loved him. He's smart ...and almost human. Like Hounder.
The world could use a laugh and smile.....Here's two from both of us.

Steve, I would love to thank you for all the laughter and good vibes you generated. You were a very special person and a memorable friend. I feel I was blessed to call you my friend. I remember the last time I saw you. I was in the parking lot at my job in DeLand, Florida when you saw me and stopped. You had two large happy dogs in your car and your smile beamed from ear to ear! I hadnt seen you in a while and you made my day. Im looking forward to being with you again one day in a better...

Steve----this time of year is always really, really hard. Have been re-reading your journals lately especially the notes from the Russia trip as well as the wisdom you gleaned from Hounder. The Meridian homesteads are almost all restored. Your presence (along with Hounder and Digger Dog) is missed. Meanwhile--there are 4 Border Collies and 1 giant Blood Hound traipsing about the yard . People speak of you often.
