Ringing the bell for Howie on the 30th
Yo...Hi there my forum family. Tomorrow I do my deal and ring the bell I helped mount at the beach bar a few years ago. You can see the picture on this site. Yep even Anthony was there. This is to honor a fellow forumite. Lots of us knew him and some may not but...I ask all who visit Skinny Legs to ring the bell and if someone asks why just say its for my buddy...Yes we are family..........God bless...Bill
You are never too old to have a happy childhood...
For those who would like to know a little more about Howie, the bell, and the "Forum Family" there is more information found here:

Bell update deal..
Yo forum family...The cook who was there at our deal is still there. I found him out and got my hug and he said he was waiting for us. I did the kiss and ring of Howie's Bell today. I think we need to replace the plaque with something that will last. It is really tough to read. I am willing to do this but I want to hear from you guys. I think we should keep the original one and put an exact one over it and have it covered by plexiglass etc....Please let me know your thoughts..God bless..Bill

I regret that I didn't know Howie. But I have read the tributes to him for several years. I would like to help re: a new bell/plaque at Skinny's maybe under plexigass to make it happen. Wouldn't it be cool to add Mr. B to Howie's new rememberance? Also to add the forum member's grandson who passed way too soon and who loved STJ - I am sorry that I don't remember her but she posted a photo of him. Am I dreaming to think it would be wonderful to add several names under Howie's? I have always thought that when I am in that better place it would be awesome to be remembered by my forum friends. Just my thought.....
