Harry Bowen celebrates 100th birthday by going bowling

Published

on

Harry Bowen just celebrated his 100th birthday at the Royal Family Bowling Center with about 100 of his friends. Harry is a regular bowler who meets every Thursday with the senior bowling league.  Harry says he has been bowling with the league for more than 20 years.

Harry with his favorite T-shirt – Aged to Perfection, helped along with some of his lady friends.

 

Earlier this year, the Royal Examiner visited Harry in his home. Harry still lives alone but has a few neighbors that keep an eye on him, and still drives his car.

Rick Novak, the owner of the Royal Family Bowling Center, wanted to do something special for Harry and along with his friends planned a somewhat surprised party for Harry.
