Former faculty member John Bowman died of a heart attack on May 6. John was a member of the music faculty at George Fox from 1980 until retiring in 2007. As professor of music, he conducted numerous George Fox choirs and the handbell ringers, as well as taught a variety of courses in the music program. He and his wife, Shari, were traveling in Germany when he died.
The university lost a longtime former professor and administrator with the death of Lee Nash on May 15. Lee arrived at George Fox in 1975 as a professor of history and later served as vice president for academic affairs and associate dean of the school in the 1980s. Even after “retiring†in the early 1990s, he taught part time and directed the university’s biennial Herbert Hoover Symposium. Lee is survived by his wife, Grayce, and children Murray, LeAnn and Torrey and their families. A memorial service for Lee is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 25, at Newberg Friends Church.
