Steve Charles H’70

In my time as a staff member at Wabash, I have heard a lot of…”it”.  Sometimes good “it”…sometimes the other “it”.  The most “it” I have heard…and second is a long way behind…is that the Wabash Magazine is absolutely the best of the best.

I couldn’t agree more with that statement…my other favorite higher education institution has a very good magazine…and they should.  But I always find myself looking at it and thinking that our Steve Charles could have made it better.

Today is Steve’s birthday.  I don’t know how many and don’t care.  Steve is timeless…in many ways a reflection of the class he picked as his class here…the Class of 1970.  Many of that Class are legends…and certainly Steve is one as well.

I stand in constant awe of Steve’s ability to capture a theme and communicate it in a way even poor, dumb fighter pilots can understand.  Every time we talk, Steve drives me to think about things in a deeper and richer way.

And…best of all…he’s a trusted friend.

Happy Birthday Steve!
