A Memory of Jack Bowser

May 14, 2007

Thank you so much for letting me know you.  My heart is very sad even though I have not seen Jack or spoken to him in 47 years.  

He and I were part of that little band of innocent 5 and 6-year-olds who walked into Miss Hogg's first grade class in the old building at WWF school in the fall of 1948.  

We were the last first-grade class to do so; the "new" school was being competed at that time and we moved into it I believe about the time we returned from Christmas break.

Probably half of that class stayed together for our entire 12 years of
primary and secondary education and graduated on the stage in the gym on a very warm Tuesday night, May 24, 1960.  

I never saw Jack again, but kept tabs on all my classmates through relatives in the area and knew that Jack was doing what he always said he would do - raise horses on a ranch in Montana.  

I trust his life was full and that those he leaves behind will find comfort in knowing he is now with God.  

I'm personally so grateful that I grew up in Worthington, PA and was privileged to be shaped by the good people who were a part of my formative years there.

Rest in peace, Jack Bowser, WWFHS Class of '60.
