He was laid off during the depression. The best stopgap job he could get was as kitchen help. By the time he left Buffalo for Albany in 1930 he had worked up to cooking. He was cook in several Albany restaurants before he was hired by Mr. FARNHAM in 1933 as night chef. A few years later he became day chef. The HOWDER’s children are Mark Jr, 15; Doris, 13; Shirley, 12; Eleanor, 10; Mary, 8; Edward, 6; and Louise, 5. They are all very much excited about having a restaurant in the family…"
