Gone


Here's a heartbreaker. They've identified the guy who drowned trying to save a distresed swimmer in the Columbia River over the weekend. The distressed swimmer made it to safety; he didn't.

His name was Kevin McDowell. He was part owner of the Capitol bar on Broadway in Northeast Portland. He also was getting into sports-related home decor. He played basketball in college at San Jose State. He was listed as 6-foot-8. McDowell was 35 years old.

  1. Very sad, and this is the first that I have heard of this. I hope that the city does something in his memory so people will remember his unselfish act.

The platform used for this blog is awfully wonky when it comes to comments. It may work for you, it may not. It's a Google thing, and beyond my control. Apologies if you can't get through. You can email me a comment at jackbogsblog@comcast.net, and if it's appropriate, I can post it here for you.
