Paris toast and angry neighbor

One of our all time travel highlights was meeting Steve and Mary Ann (and Bells and Homers) for dinner in Paris to celebrate Mary Ann's birthday and their anniversary. We have commented often about the wonderful heart-felt tribute Steve gave to Mary Ann as he toasted her (with bottled water). Even though we haven't lived in the same neighborhood for years, we still cherish our friendship and memories with him and his family. 

We have talked about life in the old neighborhood. We recalled the time when an angry neighbor (no, it wasn't Brent Bell) came charging down the street, furious about something our kids had done (or at least had been blamed for). He was intent on beating up somebody. I don't think we have ever properly thanked Steve for being the first one to mouth off to him that day.

Memory from Cathy Madsen (family friend).
