Feather Ball in 2000. Stewart
and Katherine were supporters of many local organizations including United
Way, Santa Barbara Zoological Gardens, Council on Alcoholism and
Drug Abuse, the Westmont Foundation, and many others.

He was very involved in Old Spanish Days and was Parade Marshall of Fiesta

Stewart, launched the first-ever Red Feather Ball in 1997.
Before his passing on March 27 of last year, Stewart and Katherine were

named after
them. Stewart’s optimism,
friendship and support are deeply missed by all of us at United Way.
