A True Classic Car Lover

Recently, the brother of our classmate Susan Steen Tatro, Jim Steen, passed away Recently the brother of our classmate Susan Steen Tatro, Jim Steen, passed away (https://www.rudesfuneralhome.com/obituary/james-steen). He influenced manyJim was in the last graduating class (1967) from the old high school.  He was active in FFA, and was also the manager for the state champion wrestling his senior year. Those of us around town, though knew of his love fof classic cars.  As his obituary states, "he restored and sold many vehicles.  Jim took great pride in his community and was always trying to make an impact on young people's lives."   He influenced many young men to the thrill of restoring older cars, including a few who were former students of mine.  He and Emmett Earley helped me when I purchased one of the old classics many years ago.  He was active in the local car club, and assisted in the organization of the Brookings Car Show held annually early in June.  Our thoughts, prayers, and condolences go out to Susan and the rest of the Steen family.
