I'll be here for the next 4 years, and I'll enjoy every minute of it. I'll admit it was pretty scary the first day of school but. I felt comfortable with the teachers. They were very nice I also made a lot of friends that really care, and other people who are very special to me. I have to admit Syracuse is far from the feelings I have for the North Country, and here's where I'm staying! OPENING page 13

Most of his life was spent in poor health but, that never seemed to hold him down Mr Bowles graduated from the Evans Mills High School, attended Albany Law School, received his Bachelor's degree from Syracuse University in Library Science. He worked in the Indian Riv- er School Library, the J.C.C. Library, and the North Country Library System. He also taught in many North Country Schools. During his life time Mr Bowles was active in numerous organizations such as the Evans Mills Fire Department, the Indian River Lions Club, the 10 Point Hunt Club, the Evans Mills Lodge, the Coin Association, and many others. In his spare time he wrote poetry, collected stamps and coins, and loved to hunt and fish. The story of his life can best be told by his close friends and rel- atives. “John was born with a congenital heart defect, his own childhood was affected by the limits the heart disease put on him In October 1960 he took a gamble that at 35 years old he could beat the disease and survive open heart surgery. In those days it was a new treatment and the success rate was not what it is to- day His damaged heart was repaired and he was for once in his life free from illness - But not for long! His cancer was discovered in 1970 and he fought it for 12 years. He took every treatment— ev- ery chance at recovery He was full of hope up to the end —that he could beat the disease. He once joked to me that I beat heart disease and I'll beat the cancer Not everyone can say they fought the two killer diseases and won I think that is why he survived so long. He had hope and faith in his doctors. He had a sense of hu- mor that took over and helped him through great physical ordeals and he never complained or was full of self-pity. He had a lot of OPENING page 12 courage and quick wit that made him someone special to all of us — Lynne Bowles Martin Most of all he loved teaching and all the children he taught through the years. - Joanne Bowles Fowler When I was going through his things I found these. He had them put aside so I know they meant a lot to him They are messages of Good Luck and caring from his students written on the blackboard at the end of the school year That was their way of saying thank you on the last day They had no way of knowing it was to be the final Good bye. —Lynne Bowles Martin
