Steve, Oh my, what great memories we have shared. It all started when you walked me home from Lakeside when we were in the first grade and we remained friends ever since. I can remember clearly when you emptied the powder from a shotgun shell at the base of a tree and you, Marla and I got down really close to see what would happened when you lit it with a match. All three of us went to school the next day with no bangs or eyebrows! That was in second grade. Stories could go on and on and they all make me smile. You would start out our phone conversations with "Hello Darlin" in your deep husky voice. Our last conversation was only a few weeks ago. I surely didn't think it would be our last. You were on ornery guy but that is what made you so cute! Peace, my friend.
