Eagle Feathers #43 – Little Howie

By Bob (Monty) Doherty

He was born in Somerville, or “Charlestown Beyond the Neck,” on January 6, 1960. This date is called the 12th day of Christmas in many countries or “Little Christmas.” He lived a tough early life in a then rough section of Charlestown during the very tumultuous “busing era” in Boston.
