Featured Members: Cindy and Bill Fowler Sunday, August 1, 2021
|
|
This week we are highlighting Cindy and Bill Fowler who were high school sweethearts in Indiana and dated for seven years before marrying in 1965. They both graduated from Indiana University and shortly thereafter, due to the Vietnam War, Bill became an officer in the US Navy. Luckily, he was assigned to Rota, Spain where he ran the computer on a submarine tender. After 2 1/2 years in Spain, and the birth of their first daughter, they picked Atlanta to be their home and have been here since 1969.
Bill retired from Arthur Andersen and Company where he had been Partner in charge of the Tax Division. In 1972 Cindy started a company called “Presenting Atlanta“ which handled meeting planning, event planning, transportation, and entertainment for many conventions coming into Atlanta. She sold that company last year and is enjoying retirement. The Fowlers have two grown daughters and three fabulous grandchildren.
