Back in April of this year Steve Foster was planning to perform at Steve Evers' bar "The Blaisings" Steve Foster and his band drove up to Indiana from Tennessee for the gig and I got an e-mail from Steve Evers' wife, Denise about the gig. Thought, hell this would be a great opportunity to get some Buffalo lightfighters together, so I started calling ex buffaloes in the area and I rounded up 5 guys including myself .. and we decided not to tell Steve or Steve about the planned trip. It was a great day and most of us hadn't seen each other in 18 years. Steve's band was awesome and Steve and Denise's hospitality was second to none. Thanks to Jim Kusinski for the pictures .. I forgot my camera when I took off to hook up with Jeff Sidor in Ohio.
Steve Foster soon after our surprise visit ...
Myself once again drinking with Steve Evers and crew .. It's been too long.
L-R: Steve Evers (B 4-17: 87-90), Don Shook (B 4-17: 84-88), Jeff Sidor (B & HHC 4-17: 88-91), Rich Kearns (B & HHC 4-17: 84-88), Brian Martin (B 4-17: 84-88), and Jim Kusinski (B & SCOTS: 88-92.) I think Foster was taking a shower ... getting ready for the gig.

Saturday evening at Steve Evers' bar "Blaisings" catching up and having a good time.
Steve Foster during the act ...
I think that Steve had a little too much "Buffalo Trace" whiskey ... Good stuff.

That was a great night - but sure did miss seeing more of the old Buffalo's. We need to work up another one of these sometime next Spring but with more of the old Nasty folks.

Hey Shook, is that the Stephen Foster that was in Bravo 3/17? I think I owe him some beer if you could let me know how to get in touch with him.
Richard,
I don't believe so .. as far as I know Steve Foster only served with Nasty Bravo 4-17. I think that Jim "Nasty Scout" Kusinski can verify that ... Jim?
Guys, I just found this website by accident. Awesome. This is CPL Mark Steele. Nasty B-4/17 from 87-90. 2nd Platoon most of the time, but CO's RTO for a while. Rob Kolar and I are still best friends and see each other about once a month. Rob also knows where CPT. Pearson is. Let me know when the next reunion, I'll drag Rob along and we'll be there!
Thanks
Mark
