You know you're getting older when you see so many people that came before you pass on. I remember watching Howard win the gold medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics on TV. That was a great US team...the greatest. Howard was named most outstanding boxer. Quite a feat, since those games included "Sugar" Ray Leonard (who also won gold).

Rest in Peace, Howard. Thanks for the memories.
