The Steele Lions Club

Kids who grow up in Steele now probably can't imagine the social life of the 1960's there.  One aspect of that life that somehow disappeared was the Steele Lions Club.  This group of men certainly enjoyed meeting every month at the Steele Cafe, but they did a lot of good things with their time together and they even included their wives a couple of times each year.

My dad always had a camera ready, so I'd love to share some photos from that time and hopefully fill in a few names that I can't recall from faces I remember well.  (So ashamed that I can't do it myself.)
