My first date!!! 5th grade we walked across the N.Kato/Mkto bridge and went to an afternoon matinee. Steve was a great friend to everyone. Good hearted and great sense of humor. Who doesn't have a memory of Steve!!

Steve always had a kind word for everybody and was everyone's friend. I remember him and other North Kato kids trudging off to August football practice during 8th grade. It was hot and humid at 8 a.m., but that didn't stop Steve. He didn't look happy going to those practices, and I don't know if he played much, but he really wanted to be a part of that team.

Steve was my best friend in 8th grade in North Mankato. We all called him "Crazy" because he was the funniest guy in our class. Boy, he used to make me laugh! We lost touch after I moved to Alaska in 1973, but about 20 years ago he came up and visted me and my family for about a week. What a great guy - and a real Class of '67 reunion supporter!
