Oliver Lee Steele Jr.

Dear Mark, I am so sorry for your loss. My best to your family, -Dana (Vaughan) Merriman

Very sorry for your loss, I remember your parents reading and listening to jazz when I stayed over. We watched creature from the black lagoon on the old tv.

Walking up and down the halls of the English-Philosophy Building with Oliver, talking about Spenser or American 19th-century humorists, or his own darkly comic novel-always-in-progress are some of the great memories of my first decade in the English Department: a kind man, and one of a kind . . .

He was a good man and a fine scholar. I am grateful to him
