Wrong Lee

 

Google the name Lee Bowers and you get dozens of links to pages about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. At the time of the 1963 shooting, Bowers was a 38-year-old railroad worker who allegedly had an unobstructed view of the infamous grassy knoll. Bowers testified before the Warren Commission and eventually died in a 1966 car accident — some claim that it wasn’tan accident.But Mr. Lee Bowers is not the artist featured tonight at Rockhurst University’s Greenlease Gallery (1100 Rockhurst Road, 816-501-4407). Ms. Lee Bowers is a Topeka native who spent 25 years creating graphics and special effects for film and TV. Her exhibit here, Loose & Over the Pond, includes black-and-white landscape drawings inspired by the Kansas Flint Hills and other picturesque environs. Bowers speaks at 6:30 p.m.; the reception runs from 7 to 9 p.m.
