So many outings and days spent at the beach! Kite making, slot car racing, moviemaking, finding petrified dinosaur bones, the natural history museum, all make for lives enriched by one Jack Howard. Much love to you, Jill.

Mr. Jack Howard was my teacher at Jefferson school where I remember him as being a kind, sensitive man with much patience. One of my favorite memories of Mr. Howard is one where he told the class a story all the while illustrating it on the blackboard using colored chalk.
My sincere condolences to Mrs. Howard, and to your children and grandchildren.
