This is an effort to leave some memories behind. My life has
been far from perfect. I have had my share of incidents I was not proud
of. I could say that if I had it all to do over again I would do it in a
different way, but I doubt I would.

	I am proud of all my children. They have made me proud and given
me nothing to be ashamed of. I regret I did not have the foresight to
start a college fund for each of them. In my personal opinion, a college
degree does not provide happiness or security and in many cases may well
work the opposite. It is no shame to not have a college education. My
education may have provided a few breaks for me but I never did consider
it all that valuable.

	I hope I will be remembered awhile. I always tried to help
others and never intentionally hurt anyone. To those I leave behind, I
say something I always had a problem saying; "I love you."

Thomas Roy Bowerman, Sr.
