Meet the Dads



















Meet father of the bride Allan Howard. Al enjoys playing fishing guide, music trivia games, and lumberjack. Look at the size of fish he's guaranteed to hook you on! His unique eyes have been known to cause auto accidents and get a confession out of even the sneakiest of highschool kids.



Father of the groom Manuel Echave is the elusive fisherman seen above. When not playing grandpa to his many grandkids or chasing down that record elk in the Jemez, Manuel is busy keeping many of the government's top secret satellite configurations in his mind. Just a warning, he is willing to share these secrets when asked, but then he'll have to kill you.

Jesse Echave and Katy Howard said...

yo ambo- in response to your comment, "humpy boy" was the name appointed by our very own padre...have you ever seen donkey boy on SNL?

Unknown said...

okay, what do I have to do to shed this nickname? I'll do whatever it takes! can it at least be humpy man?

Amber said...

no, I do not know donkey boy...and since Jesse is already so dear to Dad's heart, I guess we'll go with it...maybe we should just name Matt "back-up boy" since he can back up anything

Nathan said...

An explanation on "humpy boy"...Jesse has been nicknamed "humpy boy" in regards to his graduate work on the pesky pink salmon, also known to Alaskans as "humpies" for the distinct hump on their backs.
