Bob
and Doris Bowman, Guest Speakers of
Shelbyville Fluttering Page Reading
Club - October 7, 2009
by Jami Mosby, Secretary
 Wednesday,
September 30 was the day of the third
meeting of Shelbyville High School's
Fluttering Page Reading Club, with 25
members present. Guest speakers were
Bob Bowman and his wife Doris, who gave
us information from some of his books.
In his introduction, he began with some
humor from his book Bob Bowman's East
Texas: 124 Stories You Might Not Know
If You Didn't Read This Book. He also
told a funny story about his grandpa,
Jim Bowman, who loved peach cobbler.
He was on his death bed and exclaimed,
"I am ready to meet my maker"!
His last wish was to have his grandson,
Bob Bowman, to bring him one last bowl
of his wife's peach cobbler. When he
went down stairs to get it from his
grandmother, she said "He can't
have any because it's for the funeral
tomorrow". Mr. Bowman also described
some very interesting East Texas characters
in his books, some of which are well
known, and some who are not. He closed
out his speaking session by saying,
"Even though we are small, in the
Lone Star State there is a country called
East Texas". Mr. Bowman also brought
some of his books for us to look at
and purchase, and he and Mrs. Bowman
were kind enough to sign them for the
reading club members. Some of his books
include: Historic Murders of East Texas
(Volumes I, II, III, and IV), This Was
Angelina County: The Towns We Left Behind,
The Mystery of Lady Bountiful, and his
latest book, Death by Rope. In the second
volume of of the East Texas Murders
series, one of the stories included
is the "Poisoned Wedding Supper"
murders in East Hamilton. Mr. and Mrs.
Bowman are currently working on additional
stories about happenings in the East
Texas area. The meeting was a big success,
and the reading club hopes to have other
guest authors in the future. Officers
of the SHS Fluttering Page Reading Club
are: Taylor Jernigan, President; Verakesha
Cartwright, Vice-President; Jami Mosby,
Secretary; and Laurie Beth Jackson,
Treasurer. Sponsors are Mrs. Winola
Ellis and Mrs. Annette Jernigan. |
