Mr. Lynne Lappin was Steve's beloved high school drama teacher. Steve's film Trees Lounge was dedicated to Lynne who unfortunately passed away in 1996 at the young age of 53. The fund provides a scholarship of $500 every year to
a graduating Central High School senior who is intending to study theater in college. "Central Casting" is the alumni drama troupe that put
together the initial fund-raising performance with
Steve and others in 1994. They administer the Lynne C.
