Dueling with Zorro
Debby Willett
Stephan endeared himself to me when he dueled with my son, Galen, in the aisle of Sunol Glen School's auditorium, after one of his performances in "Zorro's Back in Town", 1997.
Galen was 8 years old and for years had loved to dress up as Zorro. We watched Steve performing Zorro, then in keeping with the tradition, the cast walked through the audience after the play was over. Galen jumped up in full Zorro dress, and he and Stephan started dueling in the aisle.
Later, in the program of another play, Stephan wrote about his most memorable experience, dueling with a child dressed as Zorro.
Such a kind and generous soul; he'll be missed by all whose lives he touched.
