Steve Pickup

A long time has passed but I am sure that anyone who met Steve will remember him well.

I am his younger sister, Tracey and I am getting married in January. Since he can't be there with us in person I would love to hear from anyone who knew him so we can add snippits from his time in the States to his memorial.

Many thanks

Hello,
I happen to know Steve and I did a couple of flights with him in 1998 when I was in Centralia.I knew him only for a short period of time but we became very good friends.One of the flights I remember was on the 30th Aug 98 from Centralia to Memphis in N733YC.
