My Old Buddy Steve Kimball Came over from Michigan last week with his son Ben-who just graduated from col-lege-and stayed at our place for a weekend visit in Wisconsin. It was good to see them again, but they hadn't come merely to visit us, heartwarming as that motive might be. Seems Steve's daughter, Kathy, is a student at the University of Wisconsin, in nearby Madison, and he and Ben were here to help her move from the dorm into a student apartment for the summer. Some of you who are more than 100 years old may still recognize Steve's name. He was the Managing Editor of this magazine in the early Eighties, back when I joined the staff as Technical Editor. Steve and I soon developed a lively friendship based on a tendency to get matching pairs of speeding tickets any time we rode together, as well as a common sense of humor that relies on damning with faint praise as its core mechanism.
