Yes, the "I'm not Steve Lee" came around in 1990 at the NRHS convention in St. Louis.

It came from the fact that there was one of the railfans who was bragging about what great friends he and Steve were and how they used to hang around together. He then asked if Steve was around and was pointed in Steve's general direction where he was talking to someone. This railfan looked back at the crew member and asked "Now which one is Steve Lee?". From there we decided to assist the Railfan population and the entire crew donned "I'm Not Steve Lee" tags, so at least they knew who we weren't by process of elimination.

Lynn is the only one left on the crew to have one of the originals from back then.
