How An Old Man Remembers it By Ken Rowley ’55

The following poem was excerpted from Ken’s book of poems as he fondly “remembered” his past high school classmates, the
basketball team, the cheerleaders and friends in preparing to attend a high school reunion in Ravenswood, W.Va. The booklet is titled “How An Old Man Remembers It.”

Brother Rowley was an undergraduate at OWU during the years 1951-55 and later graduated from Northwestern University Medical School. He served as an OB-GYN for 21 years and completed his medical career as a gynecologic oncologist until 1994 when he retired to woodworking and pleasure with his wife, Sandra, in Santa Fe, N.M. We are encouraging Ken to tackle a similar project about his years at OWU.
