Bowen Mythology (763 words)
Add to this the fact that Tom Bowen was a very private man (and, some say, a bit of a rascal), and that he died before most of us got to meet him, and there's plenty of room for his personal "mythology" to sprout wings.
Bowen was born in 1904, that he served in the military, returned to school for a science degree, and was working as an industrial chemist at the time of an encounter that showed his healing powers.
The reason Tom Bowen was denied grandfathering into the osteopathic profession was precisely that he refused to even pretend to operate this way for the benefit of the examiners.
