Steve Durrett - terry - 10-20-2015

Many of you will have noticed that Steve Durrett has not posted his statistical analyses and game photos this season. Those of you who sit near Steve in the stadium, as I do, probably noticed that he hasn't been in his seats.

I recently learned that Steve had a stroke on September 6. He is at an in-patient rehabilitation facility. His wife told me to feel free to pass this information along to those who might be interested, which I figure includes the folks on this board. His wife also said they have been following the football team's accomplishments.

Praying for a good recovery for Steve. Get well soon, my friend!

Hoping for a full and prompt recovery. IIRC he's a kid (defined as anyone younger than I am).

Re: Steve Durrett - CTcard - 10-20-2015

I've never met Steve, as I have not met most of the posters here or over on the Bootboard where I first started reading Steve's posts. That's a disease of living 3000+ miles from the mother-ship.

He has been one of my favorite posters, and the same is true for many others I suspect. I have learned quite a bit about logic and football statistics from him and simply had fun looking at the pictures he's posted. 

My best wishes for a recovery. Hope he knows that people who haven't even met him appreciated his posts and pictures.

Terry, please pass along my best wishes for a full recovery for Steve.  He has been a true force of positive Stanford fandom. From his painstakingly collated statistics to his phenomenal photographs, you are right, we have missed his posting here.

Terry, do you by any chance know the name and/or address of the facility where Steve is? That way any CardBoarders so inclined could send him a note.



Re: Steve Durrett - VFRing98 - 10-20-2015

Thanks for the information. We miss him on all the boards. Hoping for a full recovery.

Re: Steve Durrett - TrumpCard - 10-20-2015

In case Steve is reading this, I hope you get well soon.  Although we've never met, I've enjoyed your posts on various boards for close to 15 years.  Thanks for your photos, stats, and passion for Stanford sports.

Re: Steve Durrett - Hulk01 - 10-20-2015

What timing.  I was going to post last night, and again this morning, to ask if anyone knew what might have happened to Steve.  I went to his website last night for clues, and saw that he hadn't posted Stanford game photos for the last games of last season and any games this season, and that made me fear the very worst.

So I am somewhat relieved by this news.

Please tell him I miss his posts a lot.  Loved the photos--I used to study them frame by frame--and his RPRs, if I recall the acronym right, were very useful.

I met Steve briefly back in the Dark Ages, at that god awful Navy game and the Harris regime that prompted me to cancel my season tickets.  (The travel was a killer, of course, and figured in the decision.)  The brobdingnagian white Canon zoom lens told me it had to be Steve.  Quite a talent--again, please give him my best wishes.

Re: Steve Durrett - fullmetal - 10-20-2015

I hope Steve recovers fully and quickly!  His photos have always been a highlight of my post-game experience.

Re: Steve Durrett - Rally - 10-20-2015

I hope Steve reads this.  He will know his is missed and appreciated.  Speedy recovery!

Re: Steve Durrett - triangle2 - 10-20-2015

I am recalling with fondness Steve's shot of Brook Lopez shooting the winning baseline turnaround shot in the tournament -- a far better shot than anything I saw from the pro's.

Best for a speedy recovery...

Re: Steve Durrett - washingtonismoney - 10-20-2015

You could practically relive any Stanford home game if you chose through Steve's pictures. I'd been wondering where they'd went. Hopefully a speedy, full recovery.

Re: Steve Durrett - BobK - 10-20-2015

I know Steve we have Wvb and Baseball season tickets in addition to FB.  Steve and wife are super fans.  Miss you Steve get back soon

Re: Steve Durrett - Hulk01 - 10-20-2015

I think Steve and his wife also have been generous to Stanford.  They serve on one of the gift committees, which I believes requires its members to be benefactors.

Best to you Steve and Anna.  Thinking of you a lot lately, hb.

Re: Steve Durrett - liveoak - 10-20-2015

I'm sorry to hear this. I lived in Mirlo with Steve in 1972-73. I hope he recovers soon....

Re: Steve Durrett - fullmetal - 10-21-2015

We could sign a card for Steve at the Cardboard reunion weekend shindig :)

No, I'm sorry, I don't know where Steve is. If I get additional information, I will pass it along.

Thanks to everyone - terry - 11-02-2015

I heard from Steve's wife that Steve got the messages that were posted in this thread. Thanks to all of you.

Re: Steve Durrett - Nan3cy - 11-02-2015

Terry, did she have any report on Steve's progress?


Re: Steve Durrett - terry - 11-02-2015

No. If I find out, I'll let you know.
