Steve Sanfield: Hi. I'm Steve Sanfield, but Sanfield was not always my family name. No. When my grandfather came to this country from Russia over 100 years ago, his name was Seanfeld.

When his son, my father, graduated from junior high school, he was the first one in the family to graduate from any school. Well, they called his name out, and no one stood up because they called out Harold Sanfield. A teacher then said to my father, "Hey, that's you." Well, my grandfather was so proud that the very next day, he went down to city hall and changed the name from Seanfeld to Sanfield, so here I am, Steve Sanfield.
