Two San Diego leaders turn 90 years young
Two San Diego civic leaders with giant footprints are celebrating their 90th birthdays — and neither seems to be slowing down.
“I want you to know that I ain’t done yet,” laughed Steppe, who until recently served on the local Goodwill Industries board. At age 90, he remains chairman of the board of three organizations — Gompers Preparatory Academy , Vista Hill Foundation and Mental Health of America San Diego. Steppe remained humble in his acknowledgment, saying he was never motivated by having such recognition. “I did it because it was the right thing to do, and my Lord and Savior gave me the strength to do it.”
Just as Steppe has been involved in the Chollas View community, Madhavan has been active in the Indian community of about 40,000 in San Diego, and in programs that help Americans better understand his native country of India.He has been involved in the United Nations, the World Bank and taught and lectured around the globe, serving as a Fulbright professor in five countries.
