June 11 - 1936 and 2020



We are doubly sad this year that June 11th not only represents the anniversary of Bob Howard's death but also the Howard Days that just won't be.

When Bob decided to end his time, he had no idea at the Legacy that would remain. We can be sad that he left us, but happy that he left us so much.

Howard Days in 2021 will happen on Friday and Saturday, June 11th and 12th. The Thursday before is always an "unofficial" day of celebration, so maybe because we're missing out this year, we could make Thursday an Official Howard Day?!

Something to think about while we plan ahead for next year. Hope y'all stay healthy and we'll see you in Cross Plains before you know it!

Howard Days Help!



Well, this should have been the week we were all gathering in Cross Plains, Texas, to celebrate the Life and Work of Robert E. Howard. But 2020 is certainly not your typical year.

While the Robert E. Howard fan community is pretty bummed that Howard Days 2020 has been cancelled, let's not forget that Project Pride of Cross Plains still needs our help.

Howard Days is not only The Best Two Days in Howard Fandom, but is also the big yearly fund-raiser for Project Pride to maintain the house and grounds of the Robert E. Howard Museum.
No HD this year means zero donations for upkeep on the Museum, which is a year-long endeavor.

So, we're hoping you can find a few pazoors in your purse to send along to the fine folks at Project Pride to make up for not having our "Howard Family Reunion" this year. Please donate what you can to their Pay Pal account at ProjPride@yahoo.com or send a check to Project Pride, POB 534, Cross Plains, TX 76443.

Anything you can give will be sincerely appreciated and you will know that you are involved with continuing the Legacy of Robert E. Howard.

We hope to see y'all in 2021 on June 11 and 12. Roy Thomas has agreed to come back as GOH and we'll have our full slate of REH activities for all to enjoy.

And thanks goes to Dennis McHaney for putting this bee in our bonnet!
