Strange to me to think of coming home for this reunion and not seeing some of us there. Steve and I spent a fair amount of time together as kids. Our parents were friends when we were young - still are. The Rogers ranch was full of activity and the Bateman kids spent some time at their home and vice versa. I vividly recall cleaning out their chicken coop one Sunday afternoon. That was a one time deal! They also had a donkey that we rode when we went out on weekends. I remember cold winter days on the snowmobile and hot summers on the 4 wheeler down on our river with Steve in tow! Like Greg, our paths went in a little different direction yet we still had that common ground from when we were young kids that seemed to connect us in a way that most people didn't know about.
Steve will always be near and dear to my heart. It is strange to think that 20 years has passed, I will always keep him close. I spent many hours at the Rodgers house, it was always fun, and you were always treated like family. My, if we could only turn back time!! Rest in peace my true love!!
