Donald C. Bowman (10) facts
20201201HAv- from front Source Details:
p.75- I had a biological half brother and half sister whom I never saw because my biological father had given me up for adoption. I had many stepbrothers and stepsisters by one measure, but only two if you limited the tally to the offspring of Mom's husband of the moment. Then there was my my biological dad's wife, and she had at least one kid, so maybe I should count him too. p.76- Lindsay Leigh was five years older than I was, born just two months after Mom graduated from high school.
p 81 Linsay was a Lewis (her dad's last name), Mom took the last name of whichever husband she was married to, Mamaw and Papaw were Vances, and all of Mamaw's brothers were Blantons. ... and with Bob gone, explaining why my name was J.D. Hamel would require a few additional awkward moments.
p. 82 Don Bowman, my biolgical father. my siblings, Cory and Chelsea- and I did (remember, wanting to have a farm, etc.) a little bit, so I said, "kind of." I 'knew' that Don had abandoned me because he didn't want to pay child support (or so Mom said). I knew that he was married to a woman named Cheryl, that he was tall, and that people thought I looked like him. ... He was a "Holy Roller."
p. 83 Donald C. Bowman migrated from eastern Kentucky to southwet Ohio for work. After marrying and starting a family, my grandfather Bowman died suddenly, leaving behind two small children and a young wife. My grandmother remarried and Dad spent much of his childhood in eastern Kentucky with his grandparents.
