It was April of 1976 when Howie Franklin got the call asking him to join the crew of Air Force One. He rose to Chief Steward and ultimately retired in 1994 – halfway through the first term of President Bill Clinton.
In August 2015, he published a book about his adventures. Yes Sir! Mr. President chronicles Franklin's journey as a kid on Fire Island in New York, selling drinks and carting baggage for the rich and famous all the way to serving five U.S. Presidents on Air Force One.
