Steve takes a photograph from the hospital bed in which he spent his last years. The bed was set up in the sunroom of Kathleen Ewing’s house.
Pictured are Bruce and Julia Ewan. Julia was a student of Steve’s and one of his most attentive visitors during his illness. Her then-husband Bruce is a blues musician.
