He was at Corpus from 1976-1980. Over the years I as many have had the opportunity to share many parts of my life with joyful and sorrowful. Fr. Howie as I called him because I was not able to pronounce Caulkins, he placed his gentle hand around my shoulder and tried to assist me to pronounce it he then said " to you I'm Fr. Howie." Fr. Howie, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for always being there, and being true. I thank you for those late night visits when I was in the Weill Cornell fighting for my life. Thank you for loving me and all of teachable moments. May you find the rest you so richly deserve. Until we meet again St. Howard Calkins.
