Steve and I became good friends in the late 1970s because of our military service in Alaska, his at Ft. Yukon and mine at Galena, and because of our Arkansas connection. Then I took a job in Oregon after I left the military and totally lost track of him. It pains me terribly to finally find him after all these years because he passed away. If through some almost-miracle any of his family or friends in Arkansas or Tennessee see this, I send very late but sincere condolences. Lord willing, I plan a visit to his gravesite.
