Steve moved to Seattle after high school, where he worked in one of the great shops in the Pike Place Market District. He passed away in the late eighties. If you have any stories to share about Steve, please share.
I last saw Steve in 1983, soon after my first daughter was born. He was living in Portland, working as a bartender in a cool downtown club, enjoying life away from Yakima and those strange high school rules about what was acceptable and what wasn't. He was as always handsome, hilarious, offbeat, and full of life and love. We didn't stay in touch because he didn't stay in Portland. I hope he had a great life.
Well about Steve Rose,I grow up with Steve when my parents bought a home on 6th ave.He lived on 5th ave his backyard to my backyard.At the age of 4yrs.old we played alot together.He went to Broadway school,I went to Hoover.
