Happy Monday, my fellow OKC residents and mom’s four friends in Elk City who read my stuff.
Every now and then, Patrick and I like to hop in the TLO nostalgia machine and check up on some of the people, personalities and things The Lost Ogle has covered (or would have covered) over the years. Here is the latest edition of Where Are They Now?...
Jack Bowen
For a brief time in the late 1980s to mid 1990s, while a young Kelly, Kevin and Kent spent their young adult days and nights practicing tongue twisters and enunciating verbs, the OKC news anchor scene was an Ogleless void dominated by Jack Bowen. He was friendly enough for you grandmother, serious enough for your grandfather, and just creepy enough for "Wednesday's Child."
Jack left the TV news biz in the late 1990s, and things quickly went downhill from there. In 2003, he was charged with misdemeanor stalking after he allegedly "dressed in a woman's fur coat and a fake beard" and tried to place a "partially nude photograph" on the bridal store window where she worked. He rebounded from the gaffe to be the Internet sale manager for the now defunct Cable VW.
