The Duke of Texas XXV, Steven Bailey, was born in San Antonio when his father was in the Airforce.  He was raised in Central Oregon and attended the University of Oregon, where he met and married the love of his life, Linda, and he attended the UOHSC School of Medicine.  After training in Denver, Colorado, Steven moved to San Antonio, Texas, where he and his wife spent 40 years raising their two daughters and four grandchildren.  They currently have a working cattle ranch in Utopia, Texas.  Steven and Linda celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this last December.

 

Five years ago, after moving to Shreveport to join LSU Health, Steven and Linda were invited to join a float in the Krewe of Gemini and where they discovered the great fun and camaraderie of being members.  Steven enjoys outdoor activities, including tennis, golf, fly fishing, and bow hunting.  He is honored to represent the Krewe of Gemini as the Duke of Texas XXXV and delighted to serve with his lovely wife, Linda Bailey, the Duchess of Texas XXXV.
