Last week Colleen sent me a copy of Howard’s Memorial. It really made me sad, but I also saw a lot of memories which made me smile. It was wonderful. Susan suggested that I send something about my trip to New York with Howard years ago, so I’ll do my best to share this:
When I graduated from High School Howard & Rebecca took to New York City as a gift. We stayed with Howard’s parents and one night we went to a Japanese restaurant with his grandmother. My first time in meeting the family I watched television and liked the game shows, so they took me downtown and went to NBC. There was a program called “Say When!” We sat in the audience and they picked Howard as a contestant—what a thrill! We had to go back home so that Howard could put on a suit, went back to the studio for the taping, and he won the first contest—including a boat—he named “Say When”. Sorry to say, he lost the second contest.
I have had many wonderful memories with Howard, Rebecca, and family and I’ll treasure them always.
