The man behind the curtain, the one that pulls the strings. He is in control, he is --the Big Honcho. There are mucky-mucks, but he is the muckiest. People say he grew up on the mean streets, attended the school of hard knocks, always ready to rock. You can have your Emperor, Morning Mayor, Early Birds and Morning Zoo.

Dan Walker, whom I went to radio school with, along with Chet Rogers (Ron Favre) in 1967-68 at Tacoma Vocational-Technical Institute (now L.H. Bates, or ?), posted on his Facebook page a few days ago (https://www.facebook.com/dan.walker.54379) that Steve West (KJR/KISW, etc.) had passed away and that there was a Memorial Service planned for May 12th at the Georgetown Ballroom. Jason, maybe you can enlarge on this as I have seen no other information about Steve’s passing.
Seattle Radio Legend Steve West, RIP
