Steve was the first president of Dr SOlomon's USA. 

I went over there to work with him on a show. The stand was a disaster, 
designed to keep people out (it was a stand surrounded by walls, with a 
door guarded by a security guard) rather than to let people in.

To tempt people in, there was free food, in huge amounts. Of course, 
no-one knew about the food, so we wound up with enough left over to feed 
an army.

So, on the last day, I got Steve to come up on stage to help with the 
presentation. And I got him to hold a heaped plate of food in each hand, 
then balanced two more plates on his outstretched arms.

And then I walked away and left him to it.

We knew how to have fun in those days :-)
