As a fellow '69er from Richwoods, I am greatly impressed by and indebted to Steve becoming a Marine. I regret loosing contact after graduation and wish we could have met up at the up coming 50th class reunion. I am sorry for the pain of loss for his loved ones of whom I am sure there are many.
Steven Brown.
