He attended grade school at American Eagle on Eagle Rd. in the town of Clyman and was a 1948 graduate of Juneau High School.

HC started playing in the Bernie Roberts Polka Band in 1948 until 1956. After military service, he purchased his first milk route in 1955 hauling can milk.

It was the Haase family Christmas get together at Howards' home several years ago on the same year our Aunt Bernice turned 95. Dianne and I were home visiting that year and we decided to attend. During the party I sat next to Howard and we conversed. At some point he advised me never to completely draw a permanent line of separation on someone you may have had an argument or disagreement with. That with time and chance another relationship or business adventure may present itself with them. In short his advice was not to harbor resentments. He went on to say that there were times this happened to him but when an opportunity presented itself with those people, and because he didn't harbor a resentful attitude toward them, their relationship rekindled. To this day I'm very glad I went to that Haase get together. Turns out, that was very valuable advice.
