To dearest Lynn and the entire Fouce family, I was so sad to learn the news from Tom a few weeks ago. You and Steve were such role models for me and I will never forget his encouragement and generosity, from the days at Kenny Rogers Productions to the days of my working as his assistant at KRCA-TV. I love you both and have such gratitude that all three of our paths crossed so many years ago. Although we have been separated all these many years by distance, I always felt close to you both with the news from you each holiday. Much love and blessings to you Lynn and the Fouce family.

It is truly amazing how our lives ran in such parallel, but never crossed after High School. Steve and I were very close back then, but I never could find him to meet up after High School. I probably used recording studios that Steve designed or built over the course of my career in the TV Commercial business.
It makes me very sad to hear of Steve's death and that we should have had the opportunity to hang out together, but never found the other.
Please let me know when there is some kind of gathering or celebration planned. I am often in Las Vegas.
