Steve Reed, RIP

Longtime Karl Hess Club attendee, J. Neil Schulman, sends the following note:

"A short while ago I received a sad phone call from Tim Reed that his brother Steve Reed, a libertarian, frequent Karl Hess Club attendee, and a friend of mine, passed away in his sleep on February 4th, apparently due to complications of diabetes.

Tim will be attending tomorrow (Monday's) Karl Hess Club meeting to say some words memorializing Steve."
