The Lost Night: A Memoir - Photo Gallery

With my father Stan Howard circa 1983, about three years before his murder.

Present at the murder scene: me, my stepbrother Bobby, my father, and his third wife, Sherrie. This was probably taken a year and a half before his death. The photo appears on the inside title page of the book.

The photo of my father that ran in the Merced Sun-Star the day after his death.

The house where my dad was killed. The window on the right was my bedroom's; the window on the left was Bobby's.

Me as a member of the Clovis High colorguard, 1992. The supressed terror on my face is because I'm afraid I won't catch the flag pole behind my back.

Another favorite photo of my dad, working for Howard's Janitorial Service during one of our happiest years together.

My father's grave.
