Note: Charles Berry Howland was born at home in Philadelphia, PA. he was the oldest of three children, and the role of leader was always his for his generation for his entire life. After his younger brother, Arthur (Budge) was born, there were always the inevitable squabbles between the boys. Their mother would separate them and administer the disciple she thought appropriate, but the struggle to establish dominance continued until one day when their father prevented their mother's intervention. Charlie graduated from Law School in 1929, the year of the great stock market crash. Charlie secured one of the few legal jobs available at the time, and was employed by a law firm that represented banking interests in foreclosures and bankruptcies. Because his father was a teacher, he was able to spend more time with his children than many fathers. AH Howland used to read to the children in the evenings. Charlie and Budge both loved Treasure Island and similar stories. On summer ACH prepared a treasure hunt for the boys with various clues to follow which finally led to the digging up of the treasure. Emily doesn't remember what the treasure was. The pursuit of the clues was the fun.
