Northwest Speed flier Loren Howard dies

By Mike Hazel

He was a long time Portland area resident, but for several years resided in the small mountain area town of Ariel, Wash. He had a long career in truck driving, which included both private companies and the US Postal Service. His favorite modeling activity centered around Speed events, mostly the big stuff.  He still holds the long-standing Northwest record for .21 Sport Speed. In earlier years was also active in Navy Carrier flying. He also had an interest in RC race cars.  

Sometime during the spring he developed some serious health issues which took him in and out of the hospital a number of times.

Memorial service information will be posted here as it becomes available.
