Howard Dubord Tustin, Jr. (1919-1994), Maryland Registered Land Surveyor No. 3995, began surveying at the age of 15 for his father's firm and, after being graduated from Baltimore City College, worked for Howard C. Sutton. Between 1938 and 1941 he alternated between substitute teaching assignments and working for Martenet and Co. and Dollenberg Brothers in Towson. In December of 1941 he entered the Army Air Force and served in China and Brazil establishing control points by astronomical observations for aerial mapping.
After the war he returned to the firm of his father and grandfather (Sutton's firm having by this time merged into the firm of Martenet), and was admitted to the partnership in 1962. They operated out of the offices on Lexington Street until 1988 when he and his brother Dick sold the firm to the present principals and retired. He and Dick shared the distinction of being the only Martenet partners ever to retire.
Howard served as a director of the Maryland Society of Surveyors.
