Once in a while I like to spotlight one of our EQ members whom I think impacts so many of us simply by his nature. His height precedes him and when I look back in spin class its only a moment to find him in the 3rd or 4th row as big as life. I think he needs a custom Schwinn because the adjustments don’t seem to give him the accommodations most of us have when we clip in.
I got a chance to get to know him this past summer when he and Ferne invited me to brunch. He is I can attest a gentle soul and you only need look into his eyes to know just how generous this man is. He is so forthcoming and logical that you might overlook just how reasonable a man he is. When he speaks his mind he is always direct and never engages in conversation in whispered tones. He is so matter of fact about life and people that cross his threshold you always know where you stand. Howard has only one face the one you see.
He has a sense of order about his life and it’s easy to see how patient he is as well. He is a lot harder on himself than he is on those around him. When I see Ferne put her two hands on his forearm and gaze lovingly at him it makes me glad that I know him. Howard Brumer he is even taller in person.
