My memories of Steve go back over 50 years. While precise dates are no longer in my memory bank, circumstances and emotions remain alive and easy to recall. These memories tell the story of a remarkable human being, a true practitioner of his craft always, faithful to the basic principles of scientific pursuit, with integrity, honesty, and enthusiasm well beyond the norm. We had a professional symbiotic relationship that lasted over 20 years, resulting in over 50 publications in scientific journals and meeting abstracts. During that time, our fortunes rose in tandem, and when it was time to go our separate ways, he was more than ready to flourish on his own. Our personal friendship remained constant, and we enjoyed sharing meals and stories with family and friends over the years. In retrospect, I take pride in having played a role in a portion of his remarkable scientific journey. A few key anecdotes will illustrate some aspects of this summary. By way of a disclaimer, this is not a comprehensive review of the vast field of viral oncology and the selection of references is intentionally narrow. No slight is intended to the many outstanding investigators that were our contemporaries and at times collaborators during the period from the early 70s to the mid-80s.
我的回忆可以追溯到史蒂夫 50 多年前。虽然确切的日期已不再在我的记忆库中，但情况和情绪仍然记忆犹新，很容易回忆起来。这些记忆讲述了一个非凡的人的故事，他是一位真正的行业从业者，始终忠实于科学追求的基本原则，具有超越常规的正直、诚实和热情。我们建立了 20 多年的专业共生关系，在科学期刊和会议摘要上发表了超过 50 篇论文。在那段时间里，我们的事业一起发展，当我们分道扬镳的时候，他已经准备好独自蓬勃发展了。我们的个人友谊一直保持不变，多年来我们一直与家人和朋友一起分享美食和故事。回想起来，我为自己在他非凡的科学旅程中扮演了一个角色而感到自豪。一些关键的轶事将说明这一总结的一些方面。需要说明的是，这并不是对病毒肿瘤学这一广阔领域的全面回顾，而且引用的文献选择是有意狭窄的。这并不是对 70 年代初到 80 年代中期与我们同时代的许多杰出研究人员的轻视，他们有时也是我们的合作者。
