29 JUL, 2002 - 2125 CDT The only time I had a chance to talk to Steve, one-on-one, was at the January 2002 board meeting. We had a very pleasant, very informational discussion about Washington, DC lobbying. I found it to be most enlightening. Even though I knew him for only a short time, I will miss his insight on the regulatory issues now facing us. 73 - Dick, W9GIG
