I just thought about Howard today, as I never remember meeting him, my only contact was with Myrt she was my great aunt, When I was young she would stay with me when my folks went on holidays, and she spoke kindly of her son and her four grand children, I knew their names and ages, I never met any of you, and for that I’m very sorry. Howard was a few years older then my dad, and my dad Bill Wilson passed in 1995 , I’m very sorry for you loss
Regards,
