Among other things, writing has long been a hobby for Donald A. Bowman. His anecdotal stories of prairie life and history have appeared in Folklore, a social history quarterly in Saskatchewan, and a few years ago he voiced a series of them for CBC Radio. Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1922, Donald was married for 69 years, still lives independently, continues to drive, gets around just fine, thanks for asking, and still has an opinion. Old sailors are like that.
