Everytime I talked to him after that he remembered and he emailed me on my Birthday
Both class acts IMO.
i have a friend who starred in a movie with Steve M (the Reiver's circa '69) and Steve was the costar. My friend Mitch was nominated for a Golden Globe for his leading role. He and Steve remained friends til Steves passing in '80. When they were filming the movie, Steve bought Mitch a i beleive Elsinore 125 (as Mitch was 12 or 13 at the time) and used to go riding with Chad (Steves son) when they were filming. Mitch still has the bike, and even cooler, Steve had it engraved and pinstriped by Von Dutch and gave it to Mitch on his birthday......
