I first met Steve at Sunnyslope while waiting in the line to register. He was standing with Bob Caldwell, Gene Roberts, Dennis Kirkland and one or two others. We all started talking about our summers - I had just moved to Sunnyslope from Texas - and I noticed that we each one of us had some facial hair (some more than others Bob and Gene). Steve and I became good friends and we had many wonderful memories together. I do remember when he bought the Austin-Healey Sprite bugeye. It was a beauty. He had several mechanical experiences with the car which I glady helped him repair. We spent many hours talking cars and working on his bugeye. Although our political views differed sometimes (eh Bruce) we always remained good friends. I will miss his sense of humor and thoughts on life. See you later bro!
It has taken me way too long to honor one of my best friends Gene Roberts. I remember meeting him in the summer of 1968 at Sunnyslope. He was with a group of guys that I became friends with during my years at Sunnyslope - one of which was Steve Schallenberger who recently passed. He always had a great smile and made you feel welcome. He also had a wonderful tenor voice. He had a tremendous crush on my cousin from Texas and later wanted to marry her but she turned him down. I don't think he ever got over that. I remember attending our 30 reunion and how Gene "tore up" the dance floor with many of our classmates and my wife. He was a great dancer. He passed away shortly before his 49th birthday in 2002. I still miss him to this day. Happy trails Gene.
