Howard and I were office mates for at lease two years. I was one of the first Blacks to join the labs. Howard would come in each morning sing praises to God. I wondered why he was so cheerful. In February, 1980 I too came to know Jesus as my savior. Howard´s life helped draw me to my LORD and Saver Jesus Christ.
