We share with you a few of those remembrances. To honor Mr. Bowden’s memory, make a gift to the Dan Leslie Bowden Endowment in the Humanities at www.ransomeverglades.org/DLBEH “I will remember him always as the best, the most inspirational, and the most challenging of all.” — Fred Baisden ’61 “When he spoke to you, you felt like the center of his world. A genuine human being and a classic, Mr. Bowden was courtly, graceful and yet very down to earth. I am grateful for the few years in which he intersected in my life.” — Myriam Gollan, head’s assistant “Mr. Bowden, words cannot describe how you were a truly delightful presence in so many lives.” — Kimberly Mathis ’91 “Mr. Bowden was such a special teacher and person. His joy of life and keen observations were infectious. He found light in each of his students and his influence resonated in us for years past our time at RE.” — Ingrid Murrle ’82
