Steve Long- "A native Tucsonan who knows Tucson!"
A 4th generation Tucsonan
Steve’s roots go back to the days when Tumamoc Hill hosted the Carnegie Desert Botanical Laboratory. His great grandfather, Burton Bovee, rode his saddle horse to the Lab early every morning supporting the day-to-day operations while his importance grew & grew. In 1920, the director of the Lab absconded to Carmel, CA maintaining his absentee directorship directly through Bovee.
Have seen the "Old Pueblo" change quite a bit over the years! Know the city very well!
