At St. Thomas' and at the Oaks, Steve was my idol. I remember when I was about 7 or 8, I was one of many kids who would arrive early on

Sunday afternoon to display a "talent" in order to get a free

pass to the Oaks the next Sunday.

During that period, I went through

all of Irving Berlin's songs from

"This is the Army." When Steve

left for the Army, Lydia ran that

show. Steve and BJ were such a

special couple and I suspect I

speak for many of us when I say

how grateful I am for their presence

in my life.
