Howard Russell Rose

Howard was born and raised in Lebanon, Oregon on a farm that has been in his family since 1865. He served in the United States Army as a mechanic in the 8th Armoured Cavalry. Howard married Kathy in 1961. Over the years, he continued working as a mechanic for Southern Pacific Railroad, Tacoma Police Department and Lebanon School District School Bus Garage. In 1972, Howard moved his family back to the farm where they took over the operation and cared for his parents.
