I second Dan’s thoughts and praise as I have attended the show for almost thirty years and Steve was always a kind gentleman in the little I was in his presence. I am told he was one of the founding three who started the event almost fifty years ago when Steve was a student at Ohio State and a huge Cinephile. It seems sad that now with a new hotel and new frontier ahead of him, that he will miss this move and fresh revival. Very sad news indeed.

Steve was a great guy and the ultimate classic film lover. I will miss his presence at Cinevent.
