Howie was a great person both professionally and personally. My years working with Howie at 195 Broadway were the best memories I have. We shall all meet again in the wild blue yonder and it will be a great reunion of people who so liked and respected each other, with Howie leading the pack. My love to Marlene, Marnie and Jill.
