Howard's Story
Life
My Spouse
Following my separation from the army, I met my wife the first day of registration at Northwest Missouri State University. A friend of mine and I noticed two attractive girls sitting in the student union and decided to get acquainted. I had intended to ask her friend out but noticed that the friend had a ring on so I asked out the Blonde. We got along so well that we became inseparable and have been so for the past 45 years of marriage.
My Pets
My dog was a friend and a protector of both my wife and I. Maddie was an Austrailian Shepard who loved everyone after she was introduced, especially children. Maddie passed away from bladder cancer recently. We are having trouble getting another dog and are not sure we can replace the perfect dog.
My Kids
I have two daughters who are both teachers. They have been...Expand for more
wonderful and have always had good values and trusted in our Lord and Savior.
Grand Kids, travel and volunteer work now take up most of my time. I have 5 grandchildren who are in academic contests and competitive sports of which 3 participated in the world series of softball and baseball (One grandson's team won first place and he will be enshrined at Cooperstown, New York in July, 2008) and a granddaughter who played in the Soccer Nationals 4 times. We have traveled with a group of friends to most of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, Panama, Columbia, Mexico and all 50 states. We will be traveling to Russia for our next trip.
I have had a blessed life with a wonderful career, great spouse, children and grandchildren. Although I had a bout with cancer, my health is now excellent and enjoy life to the fullest.
