I met Col Bill Bower in a small Fly-Fishing shop in south Boulder the spring of 1995. He was looking at lures and called some by naming then in Latin, the pimple faced kid behind the counter looked puzzled. Col Bower then said, "...the small one with black and red, size 14 please."

Got to shake his hand, never knew he was a "Raider" until now. Never forget his gentleness in saying hello.

Rest in Peace Col Bower, thank you.
