It has become a tradition for me to eat at Toot’s Drive-In every time I drive down 99 to Winfield. I love that place.

I really enjoyed seeing the article about Howard. What a positive community in a negative world. Julie’s Dad, Don, was my brother. I, likewise, am very proud of her. Her determination and hard work along with her beautiful family is a real asset to Howard. I know she loves the community of Howard. They are lucky to have her.

Julie’s dad, Don, was a best friend and we spent many hours fishing all around the area. Having watched my niece Julie grow up and become the successful young business woman she is today makes me so proud of her hard work and determination. I’ve often wondered when they will change the name to Julieville!

Thanks for this great article! I am actually from Howard and have lived in Emporia for the last 12 1/2 years. It was nice to see my little hometown from another’s perspective. Everyone you mentioned in your article are friends of mine, and I am especially proud of Julie Perkins and her drug store. I worked as a Nurse Practitioner in the Howard clinic for over a year, while still living in Emporia, and really enjoyed my time back home. Julie was a huge help to me and the town is really lucky to have her grocery and drug store.
