Howard B. Larlee

Yet another Laker who volunteered after Pearl Harbor was Howard Boyce Larlee, from 133 Pollard Road. Captain Larlee attended Mountain Lakes public schools and then graduated in 1932 from Morristown High School. The Morristown High School yearbook, describes Howie as "a quiet fellow, but his friendly smile and keen sense of humor have made him extremely popular." It does warn though, not to get this football player angered because "he's a regular Tarzan when he has to be."

After Morristown, Howie attended Rutgers University for a few years and then graduated from Cornell in 1937. In March 1943, the 28-year old Captain Howard Larlee, an air squadron intelligence officer, was killed in an airplane crash in California.
