Steele Family Matters

Many of us may wonder whatever became of our class valedictorian and salutatorian / high school sweethearts   Basil Steele and Brenda Collins.   Well theirs is a story-book  romance.  Basil and Brenda recently celebrated their 31st  wedding anniversary.   Wow! 

Chips Off the Ol' Block

From the time they got married, the Steeles have made their home in Albuquerque, New Mexico where Basil has worked as an electrical engineer and Brenda a librarian and stay-home mom.  It is no surprise that these love birds who each hold a master's degree (confirmed before getting married) are the  proud parents of two college graduates.

Congratulations to Basil & Brenda for their individual educational and professional accomplishments.  There could have been  no better role models for Bridget and Basil, Jr.  There is no question as to where Bridget inherited her mathematical genius and Basil, Jr. his organizational/technological  expertise. They walked right in their parents' footsteps.  Like so many of our classmates, Basil & Brenda have proven to be excellent parents.  Our prayers and warmest wishes are with them and their children.
