Steve, It's terrible to go thru checking on your own mortality and find the early days grand master has passed on. We knew each other when i was married in woodland in 1968. We both did UCD in 66 67. We both knew the Golliwogs at Mouses before they became Credence Clearwater Revival and Steve Nash when he was an "au go go singer" and singing run run miss Nellie run run. We both beat the draft and ping pong balls--me the Army and you the Air Force. I got out first and you let Linda and I live with you and Paula and Black Dog while you were at McCord AFB and I got my first job in Tacoma. Last time I remember talking you were pounding metal survey markers for USGeological on top of mountains in Colorado. We wait too long in our perceived immortality and we LOSE. I still have the camaro purchased in 1968. This year I bought the 50th anniversary camaro. I just finished a 3 week 3000 mile road trip route 66 Grand Canyon in Utah Arizona monument Valley Utah Arizona Bryce and Zion and Mojave Desert and NASA at Edward's with my 26 year old nephew spending the days and nights telling him stories when I was young. Storiess of you, Beerboom, Paula, Brandon, Sasha Persian exchange students from the Shah of Iran from Nigerian exchange students and airports in Africa. ROTC students like me protecting chancellor Kerr on the Sproule Hall steps. Summer of love at the Haight Ashbury--the Dali Lama SF park. Mario Savior at Berkeley the day he shouted "Never Trust anyone over 30" from his VW love bus. Thus this sentimental Internet look up following my road trip and finding you have passed on. I am so sorry I waited so long that I missed you. So sad but I remember you well and will continue telling your stories as a remembrance to you. FAREWELL FRIEND---BCG

I had the pleasure of knowing Steve when we were in the Air Force going to school at the Univ of Wyoming in the Airmen's Education & Commissioning Program (AECP) in the early '70s. I never knew anyone who could take everything in stride like Steve could. Academics were a breeze for Steve. Extremely bright. Just a great guy. I'm sorry I lost track of Steve over the years. RIP Steve.
