Whether you knew him as Deputy DA, Beaker, or The Quiet Rage, I found comfort that his friends in Pendleton knew him well enough to make the following comment about his sense of humor "It's sort of a subtle, understated sense of humor...It was so quick and sharp, half the time you'd be laughing before you realized what you were laughing about."
One of my favorite memories is driving across the country with Markham and Bowe in his Ranger truck. Senior year, as we discussed February break plans on the Tuesday before break, we decided that we would meet the rest of the guys out in Breckenridge the following week. Bowe and Markham picked me up from my last midterm and we started off from Lexington at 4pm on Friday and arrived in Breckenridge late the next day, only a few hours after the rest of the guys (we took turns sleeping as two of us would ride in the truck while the other slept under the gem top). We spent the following week cramped into a 3 bedroom condo, drinking the nights away and admiring Bowe’s freestyle skills during the day.

Jbo, the cross-country drive was one of the first things I thought of as well. Bowe sort of inducted us into all these little habits he'd developed doing that drive back and forth to school each year - beef jerky, cigarettes, an endless supply of Bruce Springsteen tapes . . .
"Get in the car, Tina, we're goin' for it!"
