    Fond memories of Steve while he worked at Weather Forecast Office-Kansas City, MO – especially on the occasions when he stopped by the office on weekends with his dog.

    Steve,Roland Devoe, and I were Air Force buddies as students in a 32 week long U.S. Air Force training course at Chanute Air Force Base, IL. Steve was the bright and leading student in our class. He was usually thinking ahead of his fellow classmates and even the instructors. His quick mind left him with extra time to play word games with the class’s instructors who usually never caught-on or at least did not catch-up until class was over. Some of my pleasant dreams take me back to a younger time in my life and I have good memories of youthful friends like steve. I know that Steve will be happy to have his final resting place in Glacier National Park. Maybe on his way to his final resting place, he will pass by hat was the Dodge Automotive dealership in Havre Montana that he liked to talk about. He always wanted to own a Dodge Super Bee.
