Another loss

[wvrons]

I received information this morning that long time friend and marble collector Howard (Hod) Powell of Parkersburg WV passed away. Howard was past President of the West Virginia Marble Collectors Club for several years. He was a marble collector, marbles historian, digger and marbles promoter.  His joy was helping children and new collectors with anything marbles . He resigned a few years ago as WVMCC President due to health issues.  He had a long hard fight with health problems. 

My condolences to his wife Julia and the family. 

Rest in peace Hod

So sorry to read this.  He was a nice man.  I remember him ferrying us around through a marble tour when a turkey tried to play "chicken" and lost.  Howard wore the feather from the grill on his hat.  Condolences to Julia and his family and friends.

Looks like always a smile on his face, my condolences to his Family and Friends   🙏
