This posting is in memory of my longtime & loyal friend, Steve Porter, now SK*. Today is his birthday, June 12.

Decades ago I created an automated mailing list on the Internet for members of our church scattered around the country. Its purpose was to make it easy to distribute good news among our friends in the church and it became wildly popular with them. Steve and our mutual friend Rick helped manage this activity with me for a very long time. It was a huge amount of work, but we were all very dedicated to the activity because we wanted to do our best to help our church friends, who were not often recognized in the world at large for their good works.

*SK is a ham radio designation for Silent Key, someone who has passed on.
