Frank B Howell Jr

I grew up and attended school in Memphis, Tennessee. My mother and dad, two brothers  and one sister all still live in Memphis. After college at Memphis State, now the  University of Memphis I moved to beautiful Little Rock, Arkansas.  My wife and I have been married for over 35 years, our son and my personal data specialist Bryant currently works for Tableau and lives in Austin, Texas.  My wife Nancy has been very active in charitable endeavors and is a past president of The Greater Little Rock Council of Garden Clubs. We love to travel and I follow both college and pro sports. I enjoy the golf course much more than it enjoys me, as I qualify as a true hacker.
