AAHHH,Dear Steve,another death in South Branch.
So many memories. Remembering when Steve would "drive" his "cycle" through the fields,just as all the guys would do. Tom often recalled Steve getting thrown off his bike when he was racing after dark trying to get home before the minister called the cops and Steve was taken off his bike by a tightly installed wire. It was a wonder he was not klled that night.
I bet Tom is reminescing with Steve right now in Paradise.
Regards,
Eileen Curran
