Howard Lyon is my second cousin, and has the honor of being the eldest of my living ancestors - as he beats out Uncle Noel by just a hair.

Howard's father was my Gram Castillo's brother Frank. Frank was married quite a few times and ultimately had three sets of children. Howard was his first. My Great-grandmother and Great-Grandfather Lyon raised Howard with Gram’s eldest, Noel. Howard and Noel have always been close. They lived and went to school together; both were in the military during WWII, although Noel was in the Navy and Howard was Army Air Corps; both were in the auto industry together, again same but different as Howard was at Chrysler and Noel was at GM; and both moved to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas after their retirement -- but lived on different lakes.

I think very highly of both Uncle Noel and Howard. They are both very interesting people -- and both look, act, and feel much younger than most people their age. The same can be said about their wives Aunt Wilma (Noel's) and Joann (Howard's).

The Below links will take you to memories Howard has of some of my ancestors. I invite him to submit his memories of our other relatives - even if someone else has already written of them. Different people can see the same people differently -- and it would be nice to have as many of the different perspectives as possible, for a historical record.
