Cool!

For others whose memories might be as weak as mine

Prior to his appointment in Bemidji, Bowen spent 15 years on the staffs of three NCAA I institutions, working under the likes of Homer Drew (Valparaiso University), Gene Bartow (University of Alabama-Birmingham) and Bob Knight (Indiana University). He served a four-year stint as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Valparaiso from 2002-06 and helped the Crusaders to two Mid-Continent Conference titles and one berth each in the NCAA (2004) and NIT (2003) tournaments. Bowen spent the previous seven years (1995-2002) in an assistant coaching role at Alabama-Birmingham, where the Blazers secured a pair of berths in the NIT tournament, one Conference USA National Division championship and one NCAA Tournament appearance. As an undergraduate, Bowen attended Indiana University and was employed for five seasons as the men's basketball team manager. He was part of two Big Ten championship clubs and four NCAA Tournament qualifiers (including the 1992 Hoosiers, who advanced to the Final Four).

Whose great-grandfather was a graduate of Valparaiso University, and whose grandfather received an honorary degree from VU.  His grandfather did some other stuff in Indiana and Washington, DC.

Coy, but neat.

Sounds like he has an earned degree from Valpo, as well as the honorary one. Taught medicine. Governor of Indiana. Reagan's Secretary of Health and Human Services.  Died just a couple of years ago at age 95.

Also a friend of great uncle Bob (heaviest man in the world 1958) in Bremen, Indiana.

On his return from World War II, he set up his own medical practice in his home town of Bremen, Indiana, which he discontinued in 1972. During this time, he also was a member of staff for various hospitals in Indiana and served as coroner for Marshall County, Indiana.
