I want to wish my dad, Jim Howard, a happy father's day. I had an extraordinary childhood, in part, because of my Dad. I have such wonderful memories of family trips, camping, hang gliding, shooting rockets, trips to Mexico and much more. My father has served as an amazing role model for me to follow through out my life. I can talk to my dad about any thing which as I have grown up have found that many times is not the case with many father-daughter relationships.
