Mystery Classmate 025

Congratulations to Brandon "Brandon B" Holmes, Rich Reschoff, Joe Caprara, Barbara Bender Pietro, Paula Recchio Joseph, and Mary Bender Knight, all of whom correctly identified Steve Landay ('85) as Mystery Classmate 025 and are listed in the order that their responses were received. As pictured, Steve is playing "Fascination" by The Human League.

In case you were wondering, Steve writes, "Working for Comcast (formerly AT&T Broadband) in the Regional Network Operations Center (RNOC) and in the Digital Telephony division for the past 4 years... Participated in the local/regional music scene since 1993, has had regional success with several groups here, PUSH, Sleeping Giants including radio play on both WDVE & WXDX, and has opened with the likes of Dave Matthews, Steely Dan, Blues Traveler, Jimmy Buffett, Violent Femmes, The Clarks, Gathering Field, etc etc etc blah blah blah....people can visit BEAM www.beaminfo.com for more music info and what I'm currently up to. Recently did a show with The Wailers, Bob Marley's band this summer! Lived in Reno NV, Santa Clara CA, and find Pgh to be most warm, friendly, and culturally diverse. Still hate the weather though. Father of Zachary who'll be turning 5 in November. Recently read the UnaBomber Manifesto and found it to be quite stimulating. But have NO PLANS whatsoever to reunite C.L.O.T. and do NOT want a Voyager reunion until I find parachute pants. No longer listen to RUSH, love sushi, hate almost everything on television (even though I work for the cable company), and recently got back into cycling on the Montour Trail. When not out gigging on the weekends, you can find me finding new ways to feed his insatiable GEAR BUYING habit online at EBAY. Or, playing Thomas the Tank Engine with Zach. Can't wait to hear all the wonderful stories, comments, and memories people will have of me from the school days."

Many of you had nice things to say about Steve.

Brandon "Brandon B" Holmes: "The Galactic Bass Monster! He's a complete maniac! Actually, he and I have been talking about rockin' the house in the studio one of these days. A possible VOYAGER reunion tour is in the works, too, with Rich Reschoff and I sharing the vocals. We may go out on a small club tour with The 1984 Chamber Choir."

Rich Reschoff: "The great bassist/song writer/founding member of Voyager!"

Paula Recchio Joseph: "Cute as ever, my high school beau, Steve Landay! :)"

Milton Koutavas guessed Robert Smith. Paul Rodgers guessed Joe Piscopo.
