Herb,
I've replaced the filter and the fluid, and WOW

what a difference this has made in my steering! Me soooo happy
:p
I also went back and re-adjusted my steering box, this too has helped, but I still have some play. I'll need to drive it some more to determine if I should replace the steering box or not. I'm inclined to replace it.
Great advice! Now it's time for a Sunday cruise
Thanks for the awesome help,
Eric
