Hi Margaret, I am still a member of the group, but in no messages mode so a list member notified me of your post. I do not have any new info on Steve Perry's family, but I am glad he was so kind to you and your family because I heard he was a bit pessimistic/reluctant about genealogy. Don't know if you've heard, but he's releasing a new album and the story of Steve and Kelly Nash shows what a kind heart he has.
