“As an educator it was a privilege to learn from her. I really enjoyed her O.G course and I am happy to be teaching it! Through our conversations I learned that she and her colleagues helped my younger with his Dyslexia. She remembered helping my younger cousin even though time had passed. That showed me how much Fran cared about her students. In loving memory of Fran Levin Bowman, May your heart and soul find peace and comfort.”

“Our. son DJ came to Bowman at age 8. DJ was dyslexic and was shy and afraid. Dr.. Bowman embraced us with her caring and warmth and eased our fears. DJ entered Bowman shy and insecure. He left after Dr. Bowman and Elaine Gittlen help him get into Mt. St. Joseph High School. Don later went on to SAIC in Chicago at Bowman he learned his dyslexia was of gift that allowed him to view the world differently thus art school. DJ died at age 22 but carried with him the confidence and self advocacy Bowman”
