WESTMINSTER — Steve Cartwright was a great friend to everyone - he was such an easy person to like and to be friends with. When we happened to be together, he was fun; he always had great stories to tell and a very good wit about him. He and my husband got along very well, and we did a lot of laughing together.
It's hard to believe Steve has gone on to another adventure. He loved his daughter so much. I'm sorry for Hayley, who has to go on without him.
He will be missed by so many.

In the broadest sense, the really good sign was that the United States wouldn't default on its obligations and, thus, that the world's economic and political underpinnings would not - at...
