His biography, detailing a varied and distinguished military career over forty years and four continents, entitled “Onward and Upward” was published in the late Autumn of 2008. Since retirement Air Vice Marshal Howe has remained an active member of the No. 74 Squadron RAF's Association and attends the many organised events. Both he and his wife Annabelle remain fit and healthy in their 70s.

Famous quotes containing the word service:
“Human life consists in mutual service. No grief, pain, misfortune, or “broken heart,” is excuse for cutting off one’s life while any power of service remains. But when all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one.”
—Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)
