LEWIS BAILEY STEPPE JR. WEB SITE

Welcome to my web site.

Student Terri Jones drew this picture of me. The photograph of Margaret and I was taken at Nags Head on a cool and windy spring morning.

The site came online in September 2001 as a place to show my family book. The entire web site is still under construction and revision. I have 1150 pages and 2775 pictures, as of Oct 11, 2014.

FAMILY BOOK This is the main family history book. It contains the ancestors and relatives of my parents, Lewis and Shirley Waller Steppe. There are pictures, information and stories provided by many family members. I have collected these and formed the whole into a book. And I have had research done by a professional researcher, which is also included.

SUPPLEMENTARY This is a collection of information and pictures not included in the main FAMILY BOOK.

MARGARET'S FAMILY Here are photos and information about my wife Margaret's family.

MUSIC VIDEOS videos of unusual musical instruments that I think you might enjoy listening to and learning about.

CURRENT EVENTS This is a page for what is going on currently.

MIXOLOGY AND COOKING RECIPES Mixology is the art of mixing alcoholic drinks.

MY ERECTOR SET PAGE Here is my Erector set collection. I have been collecting Erector sets for several years.

MUSIC This is a collection of music and sound files. Most of the files were created by myself on my synthesizers. Your computer will need to be able to play synthesizer files; most newer computers can. There are sound files that all computers can play.

TRAINS Here are pictures and sounds of railroading.

MILITARY SERVICE Here are pictures and stories of the military service of immediate family members. There is an extensive chapter on military service in the main family book.

MY TEENAGE YEARS I graduated from high school in 1955 at age 17. From then until I enlisted in the US Navy at age 20 my friends and I had one long party time.

STEPS AND WALKWAYS These are steps used to climb from one level to another in Lynchburg; and walkways protected with railings.

FLOWERS Photographs of flowers and other vegetation, mostly at our Timberlake home.

AGONY COLUMN This must be the ultimate mode of self expression, to publish your personal agonies on the web. (I have learned, Feb 05, 2005, that such a site, or the content thereof, is newly called a 'blog' and that one blogger believes blog bleats have influenced public policy. I find this last unbelievable.)
