I've only known Howard a few years but long enough to admire, respect and appreciate him a great deal. And long enough to tell him to put a cork in it when he told me every mistake I made! He's obviously so well loved and respected here in Alaska and outside, he's made such an impression on so many people and the sport. I appreciate his honesty and giving of his knowledge and time to me as a youngster in the game. And I most respect his humility and love for the dogs like no one else.

His dogs are all well, they miss their dad. I'm sad for their loss as well, they lost their person.

It's windy as hell here today in Anchorage, I bet he's brewing up a storm for us.
