O n A ugust 16th, a t 6:45 a.m .,
Steven Harold A dam s boarded an
Alaskan Airline airplane headed for
Frankfurt, W est G erm any. The
A dam s’ family and many friends and
well-wishers assembled at the Adams’
home on Monday, A ugust 14th, to
eat Bar-B-Q, sing songs, take pic
tures, laugh and to just rem inisce
about basketball days, college, old
times with Mr. Walden’s Albina Sports
Program , church events and some
occasions that Steve and his buddies
could only enjoy. Every now and
then, som eone would say something
that would cause such an outburst o f
laughter between one or two people.
Everybody would be looking! Then,
conversation would resum e. E very
body was ju st having a real good
time.
Rev. Leanell Adam s, the pastor of
S t Luke COG1C, and Pinkie B. Adams
are the proud parents o f Steve and
three other sons: Larry, W ayne and
Ray.
All through S teve’s basketball
career, the A dam s’ family has trav
eled m any miles to watch their son
(and brother) as he dribbled down the
court,dunked the balls and stacked
up the points.
Mrs. Pinkie A dam s recalls the
reason for Steve’s quickness on the
court, “ S teveattended Sabin School
and when the bell would ring, at the
end o f the day, Steve would hit the
door running. He w ouldn’t stop run
ning until he got home. I would ask
him why did he have to run so much?”
Steve’s response was simply, “ ju st
because I feel like running all the
tim e.” His m other continued by
saying, “ He ran a lot.” As Mrs.
Adams recounted the many pictures
she has accum ulated from the years
o f articles that have been printed on
S teve, ‘ * I have a picture o f Steve d u r
ing a gam e at the U niversity o f Idaho.
In the picture, Steve is so high up in
