Howe's That by Monte Walker Sheriff Gary not only has been a dedicated law man for our country and our county, but he has also been a protector of our community. While growing up in this town, the Gary family were never far away. Whether attending First Baptist Church of Howe or having Mrs. Gary as my fifth grade teacher, they were always full of class, honor and integrity in so many ways.
