Every Thursday, Connie Howard’s Vue Weekly column was my first stop; the second was the letter section. Her columns always generated the most pro-con discussion—a sign that she had no truck with sides. While some indie-columnists and editors find safety in conforming to the prevailing standards of voguish nonconformity, Howard’s Well, Well, Well, consistently challenged either orthodoxy or heterodoxy, trend or iconoclasm. Connie Howard possesses an integrity and a commitment to research too seldom seen in today’s journalism. Her resignation leaves Vue Weekly and its readers poorer. Hopefully she will surface again soon.
