Dr. Andy Bowman was the guest speaker at our church recently and what a blessing! His wife Renie, brought the special music and it was one of my all-time favorite songs, “The Anchor Holds.” It was a day we will never forget. Pastor Andy’s column, Coffeetime has over 80,000 readers weekly. We hope to have Andy and Renie again in the near future and when we do, we will let you know ahead of time so you can attend.

He was a delight to be around and excelled at so many different things. However, his greatest achievement was marrying Shirley Baldwin.

As well as I knew the family, I did not know that Bronco was at one time head coach of the Norman Tigers until I found the following article from October 8, 1954……
