I was a frequent visitor at the Veteran's home where my husband resides. We often ate with Howard and he was always full of stories and suggestions on how to succeed in life. He was especially fond of trying to mentor my grandson , a long distance runner, on how to be 1st, and how to be the best.
Rest easily Howard. Someone, somewhere, is waiting to hear all you have to tell them.
