Christmas Eve was quiet so Arnie rooted around in Howie's basement office and found pictures of the celebrities Howie has met in his career. When he toured his customers around New York City he would ask the bus driver to purposely stall the bus in Harlem just when Howie said, "We are now in the most dangerous part of Harlem. You don't want to be stalled here." They would then get out of the bus with Howie warning them to be careful. Then they would go into a soul food restaurant and have supper. One time Al Sharpton (now a candidate for the leadership of the Democratic Party) and Rev. Jesse Jackson were there and posed for pictures with them.. A great time was had by all when they found out it was all set up by Howie.

One of the products Howie's company at the time made was computer parts for Star Trek consoles so Captain Kirk and Spock met him.

Meanwhile Jake and Grandpa were building a tractor.
