Old Pro announcer Dennis Downs teases Steve as Steve finishes yet another 10k.

Acting only momentarily dejected, Steve starts to cheer up.

Finally, Steve stops to shake hands with his good friend who wishes he could run a 10k as well as Steve.

Wait a minute, I did better than that...

Padre's manager Bruce Bochy likes to talk every year to the Old Pros and he could not talk to a greater baseball fan than Steve, who as president for 1998 presents a miniature bat to the Boch for one of many entertaining nights of sharing memorable stories with the Old Pros.  (Every year since 1998 the Padres have won their week day game on the night Bruce speaks to the Old Pros).

Bruce was always accompanied during that period by then Padre's public relations manager, Charles Steinberg who accepts some Old Pro goodies and enjoys some good old Steve Allen humor.

At the president's reception prior to the Old Pro holiday party, Steve proves what a lady's man he is with Sandi Pettey.

Skip Brindle and Mike Illeman present a gag gift to Steve at the prom.

Steve presents the "Rookie of the Year" award to Scott Brown.

Steve loved to dance and share great times with his soul mate Nancy.  "Give me that old time rock and roll..."

A somewhat gimpy Steve sports a knee brace and enjoys only a 2 mile fun run this year.

But still crosses the finish with great pride and that wonderful smile.

Get there early and have more beer. Hmm.. there may be something to this fun run stuff.

Steve and Nancy stroll over to talk with Bobby Camacho at the annual Old Pro Over-the-Line tournament.

Steve takes time out at the high school gymnasium to go over to the softball field and present Ralph Votel's son Danny with a scholarship check.

Steve, Danny and proud papa, Ralph.

And yet another great moment at the prom.

Ron Lewis captured this great family shot on July 4th of Steve, Bryan, Nancy and Bryan's wife, Kirsten.

Steve discusses race/ride finances with Old Pro 4th of July event gurus Steve Popeney and Allen Flanders.

Frank Lowthers and Steve enjoy a beer in the beer gardens.

This is a year where Steve only had the opportunity of participating in the 2 mile fun run.  Pictured hear after the event with Keith "Maynard" Eshelman.

Steve was very proud of both his sons, David and Bryan.  This particular year BA ran the 10k for his Dad.

Marty Mann captured Steve triumphantly crossing the 10k finish line in this series of photos.

Note the big smile which we will surely miss!!

Is this pride or what??!!

Great last 10k Steve.
