Dear Editor,
Re: “Searching for Private Bowcock,” News, Nov. 6.
In the spring of 1941, Bob Bowcock was elected as the president of the student body of the then only high school in Richmond.
I remember Bob when he came to Richmond; we were friends and worked on many school projects.
When in the spring of 1941, we both agreed to make an active school election, a colossus, for the office of the head of the Richmond Student Body.
We both entered our names in the race, (we were the only ones), and he won.
In mid-spring of the following year, which was our eleventh grade, Bob turned up to school one day in uniform, only to say good-bye.
In remembering Bob, he did not make such decisions easily; it was at this time that the lowlands and France fell.
At times like this, I think how different Richmond and things would have been if we had worked together all this time.
