Steve Bradford’s mother served as the editor of Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought from the basement while Steve was a teenager in that same basement (the walls – for better or worse – were thin). Simultaneously, Steve’s father served upstairs as the bishop of the Arlington (VA) Ward. This experience has colored Steve’s view of the world ever since. (See Bradford, Mary L.: “BIG D/Little d: The View from the Basement”, Dialogue 20 (Fall 1987): 13-23). Initially agreeing to a Dialogue board position while serving as bishop of the East Pasadena (CA) Ward, Steve retreated from the board when he realized time wouldn’t allow for him to be at once – upstairs and downstairs. Now recently released as bishop and having tagged along with his wife to be closer to an amazing granddaughter and her parents in Berkeley, CA, Steve is all-in on the board while continuing to practice law (until he gets it right) with a California-based law firm, and dabbling in other Mormon Studies ventures at Claremont Graduate University and the Graduate Theological Union.

His friends aptly described Fred as an “adventurer.” He loved to travel and had visited most countries in Europe, Africa and South America, either on assignment for work or on family “vacations”—which were renamed family “adventures” for their ambitious plans. Those who loved him will remember his wit, memory for dates and trivia, etymological musings, exuberance for politics and dedicated viewing of Utah Jazz games. He loved reflecting on his Utah and Mormon heritage, was proud of his children and their accomplishments and recognized the remarkable life he was blessed with.
