A friend of mine, now long dead, was the daughter of a Presby missionary in Tabriz and was a student ini Howard's class. He often ate dinner with her family! She happened to be in Teheran in 1959 when the Tabrizis were celebrating the 50th anniversary and she went to Tabriz to attend. At the end to the long long program, someone told the Major Domo that there was an AMERICAN WOMAN who had known Howard and had lived in Tabriz....so theyinvited her to speak! It is a wonderful tale.
I got lots of good info from the Alumni Office at Princeton, and one of the letters from about 30 years ago was from a Baskerville who worked for the Libraryof Congress. I thinkhis father had been one of Howard's brothers. I wonder, too, what relatives are still alive. Surely there ARE some...and I'm sure, from the wonderful article in the Princeton Alumni Weekly of May 7, 2007, that there will be some significant celebration of the 100th anniversary next month. I am so devastated that I've misplaced my passport; I wanted to go to Tabriz and friends in Teheran had given the official invitation to visit. Then, no passport. I have since ordered a new one and hope to go in the early Fall....still to visit Tabriz and take the poor martyr some flowers! Bob Upton, Wheeling, WV
