Notes for Bernice Ann Howard: My mother was better known as Bubbles or Bubs, among friends and family. Rumor has it that she bubbled as an infant whenever she cooed... but my father often referred to her as "the Last of the Mohicans" a reference to our supposedly connection to an Indian heritage, although I have not been able to locate any ancestor of that extraction. He also referred to her stubbornness as "Pure Howard-topia" ... and she was... She worked for the English Grille Company for many years as a waitress and hostess both in Salisbury and Westover Maryland until her retirement. She was an excellent seamstress who sewed many of our school clothes over the years both as a financial necessity by having five children to raise as well as the pride of it. We wore those shirts and dresses and passed them down to the next in line until they wore out. For many years and until her death, she loved to create stuffed dolls and toys for all her children, grand children and great grand children. She made hundreds of them, some huge and some very small and delicate of any creature or character she could think up... and they are still cherished possessions of all of us who have them to this day.
