Barb and family, I am so sorry that Steve has left us. He was a smart, kind and warm man with a terrific sense of humor and a lot of determination. I read through some old CO Cushman Club Newsletters and thought I would share a few of his accomplishments that demonstrate his commitment to finishing what he started. 1992- Steve and Mike rode their Cushmans from Colorado Springs to Springfield MO. This was a 714 mile ride and the longest for any club member at that time. The December issue of the CCC Highlander reported Steve and Mike had ridden a total of 3,000 miles each, on their Silver Eagles during the year. 1993- Steve and Mike rode to the National meet in Shelby, KY. They received the award for the longest distance riding a scooter to the meet, over 1,200 miles. The "Pikes Peak Boogie" started in 1991, was becoming famous throughout the Cushman Community and still is celebrated today. Steve, Mike and their families made it a success. 1996- Steve was elected to the CCOA Board of Directors as the Area Representative - Mountain. Steve also made another milestone that year. He rode his scooter the longest distance to the National meet in Monroe, Michigan, a total of 1,492 miles. Barb followed in their newly restored 1966 Ford Cab over Truck. The 6th annual "Pikes Peak Boogie" was a huge success with 63 riders in attendance. 2002- Steve was given the "Special Member Award" by the Colorado Cushman Club. He was a wonderful man and will be missed by the Cushman family and by me.
