| − | "Why do they call him Big-Hearted Howard?"
| |
| − | "Simple, because he'd give you the shirt off his back for a copy of ''[[Unknown]]''. That is, if it was a tattered shirt and a mint ''[[Unknown]]''.

| − | Howard got his nickname due to a prank he played on another [[Detroit]] [[fan]]. In ''[[Mimosa]]'' 10 (July 1991), he recalled:<blockquote>I, [[Roger Sims|Roger]], and [[Agnes Harook]] were all in [[SAPS]] for a while — I had talked Agnes into joining. I was the only one with a [[mimeograph]], and I was doing all the work. Agnes would cut a few [[stencils]], and she would leave ''very'' wide margins. So after she turned the stencils over to me to print, I would proceed to add comments down the margins of her stencils — about how nice I was, about how big-hearted I was for doing all this. Then, at some point, I admitted that there <u>wasn’t</u> any Agnes, and I was carrying two memberships under different names. This upset Agnes — she at least wanted to get credit for what she was doing. So, next time she brought the stencils, she waited while I printed them, and then took the finished pages with her to mail them to the [[Official Editor]]. At that point, I ran off a cover with my comments, mailed it off to the [[OE]] and said we’d forgot to put a cover on Aggie’s [[fanzine]], and would he staple it on? Two or three weeks later, the SAPS [[mailing]] came and here was a new cover on her fanzine.</blockquote>
