Steve was my first cousin and we had just found each other after 55 years, thanks to my sister Sandy seeing his birthday listed on the ERHS website and contacting him.  We have been able to meet with each other and have stayed in touch until his death.  What a blessing to be reaquainted and also to be in contact with his sister Cynthia.   Kathy Van Cleve Burkhart
