I
am a retired librarian from the Concordia Parish School System. I worked at Ferriday Upper Elementary School for
sixteen years and retired on May 26, 2006. Previously, I was Librarian at Vidalia Upper Elementary School, and
other schools in Concordia Parish. I have been a librarian for thirty -two years. I am a 1970 graduate of Grambling State
University, with a major in Business Education with a minor in Library Science, a 1976 Graduate of the University of Southern
Mississippi with a Master of Science degree in Business Education with emphasis in Education and 30 hours above the masters
from Auburn State University. My first job was Librarian at a school in Rosston, Arkansas. I taught Business Education
at Ferriday 9th and 10th grade school for two years and was head Librarian at Natchez Jr. College in Natchez, Ms for one year.
I am a member of St. Paul Baptist Church in Ferriday, LA. God is the head of my life
I
depend upon him for all of my needs and wants. With God in my life anything is possible. I depend upon his guiding
angel to lead and guide me safely through life.
The
one person who played a major role in my life was my father, Willie Bowman Jr. He was full of love and guidance. He always
told us that there was no such word as "can't". He taught us that with God Anything is possible and to always put him first
in our life. There has been a void in my life since my father departed this life on November 17, 1992. He is gone but never
forgotten. We love you and miss you so much Daddy.
