If my memory serves me correctly, it is better that I leave that night in Santa Barbara unmentioned. I am Hari, Steven's wife (girlfriend at the time you met him). Thank you for writing this beautiful testament to him and your friendship. You saw him very clearly, and he indeed had an incredible ability to connect with people and make them smile and laugh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851981677644878233.post-42060609661112624902010-07-03T22:48:32.974-06:002010-07-03T22:48:32.974-06:00Thanks for your comment.

I think it's a testament to Steven's loving and compassionate nature that someone like me, who spent no more than a few days with him during two linguistics conferences, would feel his loss so heavily. I've been looking at his Facebook profile and his CaringBridge journal today, and I can see how many people he deeply touched during his life. Even though I still don't know much about his life, I do know that he made me feel like an old friend from the first time I shook his hand.Ryan Denzer-Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015316224715016479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851981677644878233.post-52544528863484163232010-07-03T19:31:52.916-06:002010-07-03T19:31:52.916-06:00You only knew Steven for a short time but it seems...You only knew Steven for a short time but it seems like you knew him very well. You hit the nail on the head. He was a bright spirit, and he will be missed.<br /><br />Joey Alexanian<br />University of New Mexicohenwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10159907732149136510noreply@blogger.com
