Howard

Howard Mitchell is a responsible young man who will soon be graduating from high school He works at Resnicks Pharmacy to be able to earn enough money to put himself through college But in part because of the life lessons he learns from Mr Resnick through Mr Resnicks somewhat cynical observations of the customers that come into the pharmacy Howard is intrigued by an offer from George his best friend to tour Canada following their graduation instead of going directly into a postsecondary institution This trip would not be a vacation but rather an opportunity to see what life has to offer by meeting people from different parts of the country while they work odd jobs along the way This idea goes against the sensibilities of Howards parents and Howards girlfriend Mary who see this trip as just another impetuously stupid idea by flaky George Howard has to try and reconcile all these competing forces in his life Huggo
