The Other Steve Reed

This is written by Steve:
When I started my job I quickly learned that I wasn't the only Steve Reed that worked for my company.  Another guy by the name of Steve Reed works in the IT department in NYC.  I actually had to set up the alias on my email address as Steven.Reed because Steve.Reed was already taken.  Since our email addresses are off by only one letter, we frequently get each others emails.  We've developed a "Steve Reed" brotherhood - a mutual courtesy to deliver each other's emails.  It's usually done with a sense of humor too, which is nice because this would be really annoying if there wasn't any cooperation.  It must be in the name - Steve Reeds are nice guys.  The last email I got for the other Steve Reed was from the alumni network of his alma mater asking for donations.  I forwarded it on to him but he said he was happy to have me send donations in his name.  Once in a while I get expense reports for some of his business trips, but unfortunately have not had the benefit of receiving his airline tickets.  I only seem to get the bill.  Well, recently at work an unfamiliar face was walking down my aisle and looked a bit lost.  My boss asked him if he needed anything, and he said, "I'm looking for Steve."  There are 3 other Steves that sit near me, so my boss asked him which one, and he said "Steve Reed."  So I turned around and stood up and he stuck out his hand to shake mine and said "Are you Steve Reed?"  When I responded yes, he said, "my name is Steve Reed too!"  He was on a business trip out to Salt Lake and made it a point to stop by my desk and introduce himself.  When the others around me heard that, they stood up and cheered with applause.  Everybody was excited to meet him because they have ALL mistakenly sent him emails that were meant for me.  I don't think he realized he had such a following.
