Dear Lynn, Sorry to hear that Howard has passed away. I remember you both so well in the Wellington Gilbert & Sullivan Society. Howard was a loyal member of the cast in several productions, including a principal role. You were also very supportive, singing in the chorus, helping backstage and being on the executive commitee. Those were great years which I look back on with fond memories, as I hope you both did as well. Sincere condolences to you and your family at this time of your loss. Peter Averi
