What’s been happening:

In 1980, I married Les Bowen (who was a postdoc at PSU's Materials Research Labs) and we moved to Massachusetts, where we've lived ever since. In 1985, roughly in this order, I bought a 4 door car, had my first baby, & started my own company. All 3 events were major lifestyle changes. The "baby" (Stephanie Bowen) will be 25 in 2010, while her younger sister will be 22. The company, Bowen Marketing Consultants, is a marketing consulting firm and now has 3 employees and happily is still doing well. I travel as much as I can in my spare time, & love to garden too. I'd love to hear from other MER folks and hope you are all well too!
