MaryAnn and Family,
I just heard about Dick's passing. Linda and I extend our sympathies. Dick and I worked together in Spring Lake and Mona Shores. Mona Shores was my first administrative position and Dick took me under his wing and made sure I didn't make to many mistakes. I remember vividly, any time I came across a situation or problem that I was unsure of what action I should take,I turned to Dick. He was my mentor in every sense of the word. Each time we explored an issue I had to deal with, whether it was parents, students or staff, my admiration and respect for Dick increased. When Dick and I had the rare occasion to go to lunch together and talk about improving the operations of the school where we worked, the teacher would see Dick drop me off and openly wonder "what have those two come up with now?" I always enjoyed the idea that I was considered a peer of Dick Howe. Even I retirement, when recalling some of the highlights of my career with contemporaries, Dick's creative ideas and solutions are some of my favorite stories. I still use some of the strategies he taught me in dealing with adults. He is still an influence in my life. We also had some great times playing tennis and going tubing. I will never Dick Howe and his positive influence on my career and life.
With regards,
