Ron Steury

A recently retired physician in the small village of Sheridan, Michigan, Ron Steury has lived in the same house and village his entire professional life. He and his wife Barbara first moved there 42 years ago. He has loved the cinema his whole life and one of the highlights of each year is attending the Traverse City Film Festival where he, with his wife and two daughters and their families, will see around 20 films in 5 days. At his small Sheridan Congregational church, Barb and he led the youth group for over 20 years, instituting the young people viewing movies and discussing their theological implications. He loves God, his family, their dog Artemis, and all things Purdue. God has blessed him to have his spouse of 52 years still be his best friend, viewing buddy, and most discerning critic.
