David?

Yeah, this is David from Anchorage.

Yes, Steve was a mentor to a lot of us.

He was a longtime UAA history professor, was born in middle America in Indiana at the end of World War II.

And he grew up with a passion for both public service and music.

And he actually enlisted in the Navy and served in the Pacific for the Navy, mostly playing trumpet in the Navy band.

And then after his military service, he went to the Pacific Northwest and his life was shaped by the Korean and Vietnam Wars, like many people of that era.

David, how about you first?
