: Nice to meet you, Mr. Meigs. Never met another Steve Meigs before.
: I also lived in LA for a few years. From your college dating I would guess you 4 years or so older than me. I am 44.
: I read all of your prose, which was quite interesting. Are you still acting?
: Are you interested in Meigs family history at all? I was relatively uninterested up until the last four years. Burying my father in 1996 near General Montgomery Meigs in Arlington National Cemetery (on Meigs Avenue) sparked my interest.
: There is also a present-day General Montgomery Meigs, who commands the U.S. forces in Bosnia.

Yes, I'm still acting. I work with the local repertory theatre. And I play music! Maybe we should get together and jam. Call it Steve Meigs squared!
One of my uncles is very interested in Meigs history. There are books out there.
You and I are probably distantly related. I've never been a pastor, though I play a priest in Reba McIntyre's video of "The Night The Lights
Went Out In Georgia" ( a brief scene toward the end of the video).
Five years older than you.
And there is yet another Steve Meigs. In Delaware, I believe. He's the most eccentric one of the three of us.
Are you related to the Meigs who was the chairman of the Federal Bank of Los Angeles?
I met him while working downtown in L.A. in the late 1980s. Tall fellow. Very nice.
And I remember seeing somewhere about another Steve Meigs who was involved in the movie business as a producer or something.
From what I can tell, all Meigses are related. Still, if we were named after our mothers and not our fathers, I would be a Hamilton and you would be...?
And there is Gerald Ford's son "Steve Meigs Ford" and "Andrew Meigs Haig."
