I grew up in Darien and more specifically on the tennis courts of the Middlesex Club. Howie, along with Jay Morsman, Bill Taylor, Jim Hartzer and others, took me under his wing. Howie may well have been the first adult whom I called by his first name. He was gracious, wise and a hero to me. Despite our age difference, he was also my friend. I still think of him and he will be missed. Charlie Johnson Isenberg School of Management UMass/Amherst
