Remembering Steve today, for his Birthday. He was a one of a kind, and a true pioneer in our industry for those striving for Letterhead values. Much love sent up today to him from us grateful earthlings who have been brought together thru this man's forethought and innovation. <3

If not for Steve's little "idea" I would have never even heard of most of the people here. I probably would have never known about Letterhead meets or Walldog meets.
This site has allowed me to learn SO MUCH about making signs (and everyday life) and to meet a LOT of great friends, including Steve and Barb.
RIP Steve, and THANK YOU again.

Steve and Barb were pioneers in this cyber relationship stuff and I greatly treasure their effort. There are numerous friends that I have resulting form this. There has been much sharing of our craft and connecting the dots between several worlds. I am grateful and pleased to have known Steve.

There is ou 'wall of fame' near the entrance to our workshop. Steve signed his name there, along with a character sketch of himself - a good likeness too!. The message he wrote beside his picture is 'For a good time call Steve'.
Alongside Steve's name are hundreds of other letterhead names and messages of folks from around the world who have visited our shop through the years.
Each time I leave our shop I see those many names and each one brings back a fond memory of a friend.
Letterville is where I first 'met' most of them, eventually meeting them in person here or at a meet somewhere.
One word sums it all up. THANKS!

Steve created something that changed my life (and many others) I'm still amazed that I have friends all over the world because of Letterville. We miss you brother - I hope you knew how many people you touched....

Yup...Steve and Barb changed my limited self taught, one person sign life....they opened up a world of sign crafters to all of us......they made it known that there are no sign secrets....and that there was many other sign shops and people starving for knowledge and willing to share what they knew......I hope they know the positive impact they have had on so many of us., ..the learning, the art, the wonderful people and friends we have met because of them. Steve and Barb...forever grateful...thanks so much.
