Steve discussed his boating activities and events that significantly affected is life as well as discussed his candy apple business that he started in 1964 and is now producing over 400 carmel apples per minute with distribution all over the country. It was a timely and very positive and excellent talk showing what true entrepreneurship and passion can do and what a great country we live in!!!
