1969, glosser was the “great artist”, Pat Steffan. He was magic with the tape, as well as on a wave. I sometimes would go with him at night, and watch Pat put pin lines all over a board as quick as anyone. He was one of the guys who mentored, & helped me after coming back from Viet Nam. Pat where ever you are, you are remembered with fondness.
