Great post. I was able to meet him also at this same tailgate courtesy of CTO. Thank you CTO. I did approach him and speak to him for a short time about his job at the Social Security office where he had told me he worked, when I asked. I had worked for Onondaga county in my very early 20’s for just a year and a half when the feds took over the SSI program (mostly SS disability) from the state/counties oversight. I was asked to interview to see if I was interested for a federal position there. I did, but declined the position knowing that I was planning to leave and finish the last year of my undergrad degree at Oswego. SWC was aware of that county to fed transition but being old now I can’t recall if he told me that he had also started as a county employee too before heading to SS. He was very shy, cordial and as others said he stood to the side alone by the tailgate.I never noticed a puppet when we spoke and he did laugh at some stupid joke I made about my time at the county and then being a 22 year old married mother commuting senior in college. However I knew he was uncomfortable, I told him it was great meeting him, asked him if he wanted a drink which he declined and I went back to the group but when I looked his way a few minutes later, sadly he was gone. I only have the greatest respect for all the hard work and dedication he provided for the board for decades to give his analytical, historical and even personal perspective to what we were seeing on the court or field. RIP Steve.
