Thanks for posting the pics guys, there's a few I'd never seen. Pat is keeping me updated on the celebration of life party, Pete might even make the flight out here for it, depending on if he can get away or not.

Howard's daughter will let me know when the celebration of His life..... Sometime in the fall - fingers crossed.
I had a fun phone call with Howard a couple weeks before he left us..... It was like kidding around with a 50 year old! He sounded great !!)
I thank the Lord for that phone call.
( I'll digitize some other photos to post )

Rip

One of the early days in this 46'r, Howard & I took this beast out for a run. In the north bay, where He has his favorite water for a speed test. ( In the previous 40 footer- twin turbine Skater, we nearly hit 200mph. ( Nearly, because I kept yelling at Howard in the head set, " The shore is ahead!! )
(( He turned it like his Aston Martin DB9 ))
But this 46 was climbing to 160. THEN..... We felt like it was performing a "take off mode"....... Howard said, " OK that's enough"..........
