Steve took my brother Jim and I to Seattle International Raceway (SRI) what an excitement as he had a pit pass and we could see flames shooting everywhere with screeching tires. It was almost frightening, but hey, I had my brother there. When we left to go home, Steve's car just stopped on what was then the new Interstate 5 in Washington State (built for the state fair initially) and so off we go walking trying to keep up with out long legged brother (I was about 10) and short at that. It wasn't too long before a police officer pulled over listened to Steve's explanation and told us to get in the police car. He was nice enough to drive us home to Kent, Washington and reminded Steve that he would have to go get the car.
Such excitement-that's how it always was with Steve,
(Jackson Brown, 1977) wrote in his song.. You Love the thunder so describes my brother...."
"Draw the shade and light the fire
For the night that holds you and calls your name
And just like your lover, knows your desire
And the crazy longing that time will never tame
You love the thunder and you love the rain
You know your hunger like you know your name
I got your number if it's still the same
You can dream
But you can never go back the way you came"
I will love and miss you forever.
