Howard reserved?

Bicycle inner tube repair man for the ladies. Now that you mentioned it I do recall Pearl saying that. Have wondered as well what that may have been.
 
I'm guessing it was possibly be some sort of agricultural worker would be the most likely given the area....
 
Given his stature and to ensure any brides who married during the war perhaps he was a reusable groom on top of any wedding cakes at the wedding receptions . With sugar in short supply they couldn't make the normal bride and grooms for the top of the cake so Howard stepped in as one half of the model couple. ;)
 
Didn't Howard and Pearl also go courting near a bakery? Kinda remember them talking about leaning against the bakery wall and it being very warm.
