Steve's Story

After graduating from SW, I started my career as an architect at Washingon University. However, after two years it was obvious that I was not destined to be the next Frank Loyd Wright so I changed my course of studies and school. In 1964 I graduated from the University of Missouri- Columbia, with a BS in Bus Admin with a major in accounting. In 1967 i was drafted into the Army and served in Korea in the Infantry/Finsnce. After two interesting years, I returned to St. Louis and resumed my accounting career. I retired in 2001 as VP of Finance and Administration at KBA, Inc., a national engineering/architectural firm headquartered in St. Louis. I still do a little accounting part time for a few clients but my main job is now part time driving a school bus for the Ft. Zumwalt School District in O'Fallon, MO. Liking kids, I really enjoy - - most of the time - - the interaction with 100 or so kindergarten through 8th grade students. I've been married twice but, unfortunately, divorced twice. However, I have been blessed with five great kids that live in Portland, Chicago, ...Expand for more
and LaCrosse WI.. As of Feb 2013 I am still looking forward to my first grandchild. My passions, besides being with my kids, are traveling (going to Peru in 2013), gardening (I plant seeds) , and flying. Since 2001 I have been a member of the Commemorative Air Force, the Missouri Wing in St. Charles. The CAF is an international organization that restores and fly WWII aircraft. At our base we have 3 aircraft but our entire organization has about 120 planes. Besides being the Finance Officer, I am a crew member of our B-25 bomber and attend as many air shows all over the country as often as I can. I am in a ten year reationship with Bernie (a woman) and currently live in O'Fallon, MO.from where we travel, go dancing, biking, and sometimes aggravate each other. My best friend is still Gary Schonaerts (Jan. '59) and his wife Barb Trojan ('61?). Gary is a retired engineer from Monsanto, has five kids, and is currently a do-everything-electrical and mechanical guy at Six Flags, part time. Barb is a retired RN. They live in Marthasville, MO. Would like to hear from you.
