model builders advance their skills. Steve never won this award but the fi rst model boat he built, the Great Lakes tug Sharon W., resides in the museum’s main model room. It won a gold award and would have surely won the Best Novice award had it been awarded at the time.


Steve wrote dozens of articles and Shop Notes in the Nautical Research Journal and has two articles scheduled for upcoming Journals as well as several more Tips & Techniques. He wrote many articles for Model Ship Builder and Ships in Scale with several covers for both publications. He also wrote two books about boat building in the Racine area:


T e boat and yacht designs of Fred W. Martin: reprinted from existing original drawings, ca. 1896- 1902. Racine: Racine Heritage Museum, 2009


An Industry Forgotten: A Half-Century of Boat- Building in Racine, Wisconsin ©2011


Steve enjoyed writing about model building almost as much as building models. He always wrote his


articles with the less experienced modelers in mind rather than the modelers closer to his level because the novice builders must be encouraged and shown how they can improve their skills so they achieve better modeling results.


Steve gave numerous talks on aspects of modeling at club meetings, the Tri-Club meetings in Illinois, the annual Wisconsin Maritime Museum’s Modeler’s Symposiums, NRG Symposiums and NRG Conferences. Steve’s last appearance at an NRG Conference was at the 2018 event in Las Vegas where he spoke on lapstrake hull construction. He always had a word of encouragement for fellow modelers and, when a modeler asked him to pick apart his or her model, all of Steve’s comments were certain to be positive and encouraging to the modeler.


We will all miss him.
