Howie was at the top of the DXCC list (391) having worked and confirmed VP6 and P5 just this past year.
Several years ago at Dayton, Howie was standing in line for over an hour to get his Chesterfield card from Martti Laine. When he saw Howie's callsign and found out how long Howie waited, Martti replied, You waited for me?? I should be waiting for you? Howie was a true gentleman, both on the air and off.
