Mr. Bowling was my favorite teacher in 1964-65. We had some spirited political debates and I really admired him.

My favorite teacher of all time. Taught me Biology in 10th at CHS. I loved to talk a lot and with my last name being Branch and with his wonderful sense of humor.....he nick-named me "Miss Babbling Brook."
I know all of you will miss him...What a Great Man!

INDIAN PRAYER
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand Winds that Blow.
I am the Diamond Glints on Snow.
I am the Sunlight on Ripened Grain.
I am the gentle Autumn's Rain.
When you awaken in the Morning's Hush,
I am the Swift Uplifting Rush,
Of quiet birds in circled Flight.
I am the soft Star that Shines At Night.
Do not stand at my Grave and Cry,
I am not there, I did not die.
We rejoice in the opprotunity in getting to know Bill and his family. We feel the loss and our prayers and thoughts are with those whom are left behind . I know we will meet again and rejoice in fellowship.
Bill -Jackie- Malinda-& Dallas Threadgill

Mr. Bowling was a great man, was instrumental in getting so many programs approved for the WSCC. I went to Montgomery with a group of students along with him and others from Wallace for the Physical Therapist Assistant Program. I was in the lst graduating class of PTA from Wallace. My deepest sympathy to the family of Mr. Bowling. He will be missed. Thanks for all you did for our Careers.

Mr. Bowling or "Wild Bill," as he was known in high school, influenced me more than any other teacher I had. Keep in mind, this was 40 years ago. He was someone I could talk to and he really listened. He was a true gentleman, scholar and public servant. My heart goes out to the family during this time of grief. Wild Bill, you will be missed and will always be loved.

My sympathy goes out to your family. I knew Bill for many years and repaired his boats. Every time Bill came in, it was always a pleasure because he always cut up, and had something good to say. I have a lot of good memories of Bill, and I will cherish them.
P.S.- I have got his 1962 model 85HP boat motor.
