Just learned of Steves passing yesterday the 9th. from Tom Pasmic. I did not notice the obit in the Gaxzette. Oh !, The, "Olden Days" when we would go down to my cousins deer camp in Schoharie for the opening three days. What fun tramping the woods with Mark Scott, Steve, myself and whomever else we could get to climb those very steep hills that seemed to get steeper every year ! I laugh with the rememberance of perspireation and huffing & puffing ! And the super Taping work Steve would do ! God Bless you Steve on your journey. And God Bless you Blair, Steve is, SO, proud of you ! Leonard Muller, Greenfield Center NY
