Hometown Faces: Meet Harry Bowen – soon to be 100
Hometown Faces is a new feature on the Royal Examiner. Our publisher Mike McCool will introduce you to people you have seen on the street, or at your favorite restaurant. When you see them, you say, “Who is that?”
In our first introduction, you’ll meet Harry Bowen. Harry will be 100 years old in a few months. You might see Harry at LDees Pancake House quite often or at the bowling alley every Thursday. Harry still drives, lives by himself, goes to the gym, and goes bowling every Thursday. He is living life to the fullest.
Watch for our camera around Town, you may be featured next on Hometown Faces.
Is there someone you want to meet? Drop us a note at news@royalexaminer.com
