Steve is a graduate of Fresno State University, who
recently retired after teaching in the Bakersfield City School District
for 39 years. His initial Basque connection came 43 years ago when
he married his Basque wife, Judy Errea. His increased interest in
Basque history began during a continuing education class 35 years ago on
the history of Mexico. At that time he noted that most Basque names he
found in his research were identified as "Spaniards," and that set this
ongoing project in motion.
