Carol,
It’s been a lot of years since our paths crossed at Sherrard Elementary … at that time I only knew Steve because he was the anchor for WTRF News. His smile … positive atitude … and genuine caring about the people of the Ohio Valley always shown through. I can still hear him closing his segment with “It’s your Life … Life it Well!” He was a positive example of that … as where you! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
