After a long year of endless shutdowns and canceled events due to COVID, it was incredibly nice to come together to celebrate the retirement of Dr. Bowen. Finally, an evening without masks, a chance to enjoy an evening together and see each other’s smiling faces.
It was wonderful to look back on Dr. Bowen’s 41 year journey. Per usual, there were laughs (always so many laughs), a few tears, and a few surprise guests. Thank you to longtime friend and former college roommate, Dr. Dennis Laurich, and wife, Jill of Livonia, MI. for spending the evening with us, it was a pleasure. A wonderful surprise to see Nancy Knutson, as well. It made the evening even more special. It was so great to see every one of you that celebrated with us.
Dr. Bowen shared how it all began, with half of the office space that we have now. Can you imagine? Yes, we have seen a lot of changes over the years. A touching moment as he mentioned he could not have done any of it without his wife and partner, Debbie, by his side. There were many heartfelt and tearful moments while he reflected on the team members throughout the years, as well. We are incredibly thankful for every one of them.
Dan and Debbie, we wish you all the best life has to offer in this next chapter. Thank you for the opportunity you’ve given to each of us, your legacy continues on. It’s truly an honor to be part of this family.
