Hello everybody!  My name is Mrs. Howie and I have been at Northwood for about 3 years.  I am originally from New Jersey.  I met my husband, John when we were active duty in the Air Force.  We spent many years living in Missouri where I went to college to earn my teaching degree.  I had taught in Missouri for 12 1/2 years before we moved here.  If we aren't hanging out with our fur-baby, Sable, we definitely enjoy our time in Wilmington seeing our daughter, Cari.  She graduated from UNCW a couple of years ago and had decided to make Wilmington her home.  If you find the need to contact me, you can reach me at my email howies@gcsnc.com.  I am also available in the afternoon from 1:45 until 2:30 if you need to call me.
