It was impossible to get enough of Huell. What a loving, good, pleasant, and altogether fun man, enjoying everything and everybody. PBS continues to air his shows and we continue to save and enjoy them. We would have loved to have met the man. We’re saddened over his passing. Huell was a member of our family—I’d guess a member of millions of families. It feels good just knowing Huell Howser-type folk are among us.<br /><br />I don’t remember seeing Mrs. Rupley Snyder being interviewed, nor Marilyn Ferguson. Did they make the show? No matter, I’m sure they were delighted having Huell interview them, interested in them, attentive when they spoke, enjoying them, and letting them full-well know it.<br /><br />“Huell Howser has done a great service to California tourism, and has done it in such a charming and personable manner that it can't be beat!.” ~Mary Coray [Oh so true!]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172620894432077557.post-83026649215967263532013-01-11T14:19:34.056-08:002013-01-11T14:19:34.056-08:00This made me cry, Tina - what a wonderful post and...This made me cry, Tina - what a wonderful post and such a nice tribute to the man we all felt like we knew - even if we had never had the pleasure of meeting him! He will surely be missed, but I truly AM glad we will still be able to see his great programs on PBS.Heidi Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666588441951832108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172620894432077557.post-34942887753683973062013-01-10T02:16:55.537-08:002013-01-10T02:16:55.537-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1172620894432077557.post-87820024095627321642013-01-09T16:50:41.509-08:002013-01-09T16:50:41.509-08:00I've never heard of Mr. Howell before but afte...I've never heard of Mr. Howell before but after reading all of these fantastic stories about him, I think I need to search him out!

He was as warm and genuine away from the cameras as he was on Tv. When I told him that I'd grown up in Placerville, he asked a multitude of questions about likely places to show on California's Gold. California has lost a great advocate and a truly special man.Terry FitzGerald Swaynenoreply@blogger.com
