I've just noticed in a couple of movies, a Muppeteer by the name of Melissa Whitmire is listed, and I'm just curious is she maybe Steve's wife, or sister maybe? Assuming she is related to him?

yes, Melissa Whitmire is Steve's wife. He's mentioned her in a few interviews. it's also not uncommon for them to just grab any friends/family hanging around for large crowd scenes. Susan Juhl has supposedly puppeteered a few times as well.

Very true, - that also accounts for James Vaughan's MTI credit. Amongst many many other people's.

You know, he's that one guy. I think he's Vince's cousin who works at a Quick-Stop on weekends, and on the weekdays he sells scrap metal and has faked his death on several occasions and goes by the name of Rusty Shackleford, he got the name off of King of the Hill. His idol is Dale Gribble, so he took his name off of that. He's trying to avoid child support and doesn't wanna get caught, but we know who he is. He's that one guy who does that one thing.
