Early Xweb member Steve Lawson of Saginaw, Oregon passed away recently.
No other info known...he was only about 60.
Met Steve before Xweb existed & shared many adventures over the years with him.
He sourced many parts from me, & running joke was Guinness & a sammich was the fee.
He loved Guinness on tap & his visits always included visit to local pub.
He was faithful participant at years of famous Wayne's Garage Xweb Gatherings,
even though his drive was 200 miles longer than Portland area Xheads.
Also attended Mirafiori Gatherings in Southern Oregon for several years.
After resurrecting a couple ratty FI Xs, Steve bought his dream X...a '74!
Not just any '74, this one was resurrected from a shell by Wayne Wright,
& later acquired by Mark Plaia. Each owner added his own touches
to Lil Mela Verde.
Steve was exceptionally nice person...nary a discouraging word from him.
Also brilliant with electronics & was IT manager for regional distribution company.
Yet, always a humble personna, so his brilliance wasn't apparent
until you got to know him.
Rest easy ole pardner...you are missed more than I can express.
