Santa with Marge Johnson, the first keeper of the books for NSA with Tasha
Steve Tyra, a.k.a. Mr. Anything, has been a "behind the scenes" guy for NSA from the beginning! In recent years he has become an important part of the "CIGAR peg" at NSA Convention assisting Ed Rigsbee, CSP with that great charitable event. Steve has too many "claims to fame" to mention. As an old guy it reminds me of the Lone Ranger Saturday movie.... "Who was that masked man...." Along the way in our 35+ year relationship he has become the most unknown "famous" person in NSA! He began as a fresh out of college recording guy for many NSA people to the hero for Og Mandino at the 1980 convention in New Orleans.
Steve became a coach and helper to NSA members coast to coast.... His role included doing voice-over recordings for members and President of NSA-Arizona. Who is that Masked man?? For 20 years the premiere Santa Claus at Scottsdale Fashion Square. He was centerfold (?) for four airline magazines.... and Santa at all hours for children and some unmentionable places! When it is not holiday time he may be an "old prospector" or college professor on nuclear energy for a lunch riot.
Hope you enjoy seeing Steve in some of these photos with famous persons.... basketball players (Amare) and each year with Alice Cooper for his big charity event. Who is that masked man? Well, he has been from small to huge friend to many for years.... "Jack of all trades and master of all...." To see more of Steve's Stuff, visit his professional humorist website.
Thank you Steve!
Bill Johnson
