Jim and Pat Bowen have been married for 70 years and today, they recommitted to each other, exchanging vows on the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in the same chapel they tied the knot back in 1953.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Jim and Pat Bowen have been married for 70 years and today, they recommitted to each other, exchanging vows on the Davis-Montham Air Force Base in the same chapel they tied the knot back in 1953.
The couple met on the base at a Christmas party and quickly fell in love. Both Jim and Pat worked in the education field for most of their adult life, having four kids. They then moved back to Tucson where they've resided full-time since 1990. Close family and friends traveled from all over, some as far as New Zealand, to celebrate the Bowens at an intimate reception at Café à La C'Art downtown. There was cake-cutting, dancing and lining the mantel were large black and white prints of their wedding photos.
"My parents have shown what it means to stick it out, no matter what," daughter Jamie Hoppe said, who lives about six blocks away from the Bowens in Oro Valley."Above all, they're a connected couple. I mean after 70 years, you have to be. They're just very loving, very caring."
