Steve and I were partners in a music class in junior high. Music was difficult for me, but Steve said not to worry he had the perfect project. All I remember was it involved transistors, radios, speakers and other electronics. We both got an A and I found out how brilliant, talented and kind Steve was. God's blessings on his family; I'm know you miss him.
