All one needs to do is go back into the Snake Bite bulletins and drag out some of "his" ads.
Of course there was the ring toss game at Dearborn or the time a member sent him a hooker in Vegas.
But then there is the fact that the retired Director of the Coast Guard Academy band gets sea sick.
One time when Kopec's and Pardee were visiting us for dinner the blender died. We sent our 7 year old daughter with Howard to the in-laws house 3 blocks away to borrow their blender. They got lost and after 10 minutes the mother in law was on the phone wondering where they were. Kopec explained that Howard had been completely cleared of those charges. When they got to the the mother in law's she yanked her grand daughter inside and slammed the door in his face. It took a lot of pleading and a couple more phone calls to get it straightened out. Our daughter pleading gram "it's just Howard they always pick on him" fell on deaf ears.
Bottom line nobody loves these cars and their owners more than Howard.
