Steve Wenzel and I were good friends through most of our school days. He loved dramatics classes and so did I. He was really bright, and generally fun, and a lot of the girls liked him. He married Sandy Frazier and as I understand they had a great life together, traveling and living in lots of different places. He died, too young.
Sandy gave me some notes on specifics, but I put them away safe (where no one will ever find them, including me) and I've been embarrassed to ask her again. He certainly died too young. He is missed.
