Rolland writes:
But it was a memorable year!
Florence celebrated her 94th birthday Oct. 16, daughter Pat O'Neil could have retired but is teaching one more year at Nampa, ID, son-in-law Don Driver could retire from his Beltsville, MD pastorate but will continue for another two years to give daughter Louise more time at the ABC.
Our El Dorado Nature Club celebrated its 20-year anniversary....
Nov. 21, our 5th wedding anniversary, Louise and Don will fly into Sacramento. We will drive south to Loma Linda for a Howlett and Longway Thanksgiving reunion.
Florence writes:
I want to thank my Heavenly Father for allowing me to celebrate my 94th birthday. And I want to tell you how very much I appreciated all your lovely greeting cards, phone calls and computer messages from around the world.
I just can't believe it is 71 years ago when I was graduated from dear old PUC. Time has taken me around the world. And I do thank God for giving me a part of His vineyard.
As most of you know, I have had four lovely husbands, Ervin Winton, M.D., Pastor Ezra Longway, Kenneth Fisher, M.D., Pastor Rolland Howlett. All were pioneer missionaries.
Maybe not many of you know that Pacific Press is publishing a book of my lifework in many foreign lands, entitled "Lotus Blossom Returns." It will be in Adventist Book Stores around March 1, 2005. You will enjoy reading the many stories where God has shown His wonderful guidance.
We are both doing well for our age. My daughter, Mary Dunn, lives here in Angwin. My son, Billy Winton, is doing carpentry work near Kalispell, MT.
Do come visit us if you are near Angwin. God bless you all.
Happy Holidays"

2-21-2010: He wrote a Story: 95th Birthday:
Rolland H. Howlett
470 College Ave.
Angwin, CA 94508
2-21-10
Hi!
From Feb. 9-17 Marie and I were in Boise to celebrate my 95th birthday.
Billy, my stepson, took us to the Oakland Airport. We checked in my walker (4-wheel) and had a nice evening flight to Boise. Louise, Don and Pat met us there about 9:30 p.m. their time. We stayed at Lou’s home. It was the first time I had seen their new house in Meridian, which borders Boise to the west. It took me a while to get used their new house.
Thursday morning Pat came and got us. We visited the Ustick Elementary School where Pat volunteers in five different classrooms. We met the teachers who all appreciate Pat’s help in their rooms. I met two little Vietnamese boys. One’s grandmother was born in Saigon but couldn’t speak the language. The other boy could.
That was my 95th birthday. Knowing I like to eat at a Sizzler restaurant they suggested it but I chose to go to Jason’s Asiago restaurant downtown. Don, Louise, Pat, Michelle, Jason, Marie and I were there. The restaurant will hold about 160 customers, I think they said. We ate in a banquet room with the walls decorated with actual huge cask tops circled with little lights. The menu had 13 choices of pasta dishes, served with little loaves of bread. I had lemonade to drink. But Pat warned me that dessert was coming.
It was a dessert that only Asiago serves: shaped like a piece of cake, it was covered top and bottom with chocolate with layers of spumoni, strawberry, vanilla and chocolate ice cream. It was really good! Along with all the birthday cards!
We played games at night at Lou’s along with watching the Olympics, which Don had recorded the night before.
On Thursday Pat took us downtown to the Ada County Courthouse where we had to go through security to get in to meet her boss, Donita, in an office where they visit the guardians of children to old people who are wards of the state. Pat has volunteered there for a number of years. The guardians and patients have to be visited once a year. So Pat goes to the courthouse at least once a week to go through the files and chooses which ones need to be visited. She can go on for hours telling of many of the pitiful situations.
Oh, I forgot to say that the day we arrived Pat had taken her 2001 Buick to the dealer. They found that there were several oil leaks and it would cost $1100 to repair. So she bought from them a 2009 Mitsubishi four-door sedan in a beautiful bronze color.
On the way to a Sizzler restaurant, she drove by the old stone Episcopal church where she plays the organ.
We like the Sizzler restaurant here in Napa because they always have onion rings but they didn’t serve them in Boise.
Again we played games at Lou and Don’s with family there.
On Sabbath we drove to the Kuna (pronounced Quna) Church where Louise, Don, Michelle, Todd, Denise with children, Sierra, 14, and Tristan, 10, attend. Todd wasn’t there because he is vice-principal and PE teacher at Gem State Academy and was driving the bus for students to Walla Walla College, about 4 hours away.
I met a student from Sandia View Academy in Albuquerque where I was principal from 1962-67. He had graduated the year before I went there. He is a well-known plumber in Boise. We met Pastor Randy Maxwell and his wife and many others. They had about 100 who stayed for the potluck. Pat was playing the organ at the Cloverdale Church which was built during Don’s tenure there for 12 years.
When we arrived home there was a carton on the front porch for Marie. It contained a teddy bear from Billy, my stepson.
In the p.m. Pat and Michelle joined us at Louise’s house. Late Denise, Sierra and Tristan joined us. Then Chris, Sandi and the two daughters, Emily, 16, and Jessica, 15, who live with their Mother in Post Falls, ID, joined us. We didn’t know we would see them too.
On the 15th Todd and family, Chris and family and Pat were all at Louise and Don’s to watch the Olympics. It was tragic on the first day the loss of the German contestant in the luge competition when he lost control and was killed at over 90 miles an hour.
On the 16th we were at Louise’s. Pat and Louise took us downtown to Sears Photo Shop and had a family picture taken which turned out well. Don is a chaplain for Hospice in Ada County so was visiting almost every day. In the evening Michelle and Jason were over for table games.
On the 17th we were up at 6 to go to the airport. In both airports they provided me with a wheelchair which helped. We left at 9:24, went up through the clouds to sunshine. It only takes an hour and a half by plane whereas it is 12 hours driving. About halfway we had a beautiful view of Mt. Shasta (over 12,000 feet) all snow covered. We arrived in Oakland in a cloud cover. By the time we got the luggage, Billy was there to pick us up.
We drove toward Napa and stopped at WalMart’s big store near Vallejo. But it was good to get home even though the house was 58 degrees. In Boise it was about 51 each day which was warmer than Angwin.
We had an enjoyable time for my 95th birthday."

Dear Friends,
We are sad to inform you that our father, Rolland Howlett, passed away on Thursday, June 9 at 5:25 a.m.. We know that you and he kept in touch at least at Christmas time when you exchanged greetings. Since we already miss him deeply we know that you will miss his familiar list of year events. He was a faithful friend to keep in touch with over 400 friends. A memorial service is planned for August 6 at 4:00 p.m. in the Scales Chapel at PUC.
Thank you for your faithfulness in maintaining your friendship with him over the years. Our next meeting with him will be when Jesus returns and we're sure he wants you to be there to share again.

Prof. Howlett was President at Antillean when I graduated, back in 1969, and he signed my BA Diploma. I have very fond memories of this man of God. He arrived at PUC after I had graduated and left with an MA in Spanish (June 1970). Years later I returned to teach at Antillean, and I'm now retired (but still teaching part time at my Alma Mater). Elder Howlett has been a present, positive influence in my life as a tudent and as a professional. Thank you, Prof. Howlett, for a life worthy of emulation.
My heart-felt sympathy to the surviving family. Please keep up the good work, and keep the faith. We will meet him again, very soon!

My father was one of Elder Howlett's students during his time in Saigon, French Indochina. He always has a place in the hearts of the Vietnamese SDA people. He was part of our Mission's history. And as for my famly, being my father's teacher, he has a part in our family's memory. Looking forward to seeing him again in heaven. Rachel Nguyen Tom (El Monte SDA church, CA)

Professor Howlett was the President while I was a student at Antillian College, Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. I have good memories and I learned a lot from him. I pray for his family. We will continue to live closer to God and keep our faith stronger to see him again on that great day when there will be no more sorrow, no more death.
