Steve shortened his last name to Gold it should be recorded. He was a smart, funny, compassionate and thoughtful man who was also a mean blues guitarist and a person of great integrity and courage. He became one of my first pals when I came to SLHS my junior year. As part of his lifelong career in the federal government it was his time as a senior security specialist that he was compelled to fight against defense contractor fraud, waste and incompetence at some of the highest departments of our federal government against overwhelming odds. Although outgunned --and ultimately disappointed --he nevertheless persisted in his untold efforts at whistleblowing time and time again. He said he had no choice in the matter. So Steve is one of my heroes and trueblue pals who I dearly miss
