Nice picture, Col Howard looks good, I see a resemblance between Toby and his neice. I think she will be able overcome any obstacles that looking like Toby might cause.

Col Howard looks as hard as woodpecker lips. There is no doubt in my mind that even at his age he would probably be able throw me a beating I wouldn't soon forget.

I know both of those gentlemen, and I'm glad the niece is in the picture, it makes a picture of those two easier to look at.

There's only one GENTLEMAN in that pic, and he has the MOH around his neck.
Props to NDD for hosting, posting that pic.
I'm incredibly honored to know a MAN such as Bob Howard. i consider him to be a friend, a mentor and most of all, A BROTHER, although a considerably older Brother!!!!!!!!! 
Toby, Amber's Uncle!!!

In this case, looks are NOT deceptive. I also served with Bob Howard and always respected him. On one of my operations he was right at the front of the line of volunteers to come pull my ass out of the fire, dead or alive.
In the last statement you can add the word "Still".
Sorry to upstage you Toby but you soar with lofty eagles.

4 rows of ribbons
A quick question: how did the neice get four rows of ribbons? What are all of those for? None for combat, I assume. It makes me feel inferior when hers is bigger than mine.
