Howard's Story
Quick summary to bring you up to date as of 3/14
Retired from my full time job in March 2011. Enjoying retirement.
Married in 1975 to a great gal (Leslie)
Leslie is still working, she is 4 years younger. Helping her in her business.
Two children: Ryan and Amanda
Have coached girls volleyball for nearly 2 decades and plan to continue for a few more years. I coach High School and club nearly all year round.
Enjoy traveling with Leslie, dining out, a good movie now and then. Also like to shop believe it or not.
Since retirement have traveled a lot with my wife both for pleasure and for her business. Leslie is an author and professional speaker and so this gives us numerous travel opportunities during the year.
Favorite food: has been and always will be pizza. Started with Oddo's and Gino's in the 60's and hasn't changed.
