Third on Reagan's right

Third on Reagan's right in this photo is Otis R Bowen (Wikipedia), secretary of Health & Human Services and former governor of Indiana. 89-year-old Doc Bowen attended the 2nd Annual Bremen Old-Timers Softball game yesterday to throw out the first pitch, and your intrepid reporter is there. Doc pitched men's softball in Bremen in the 1940s. While governor and secretary, he was known to write out prescriptions for cold and flu remedies for colleagues and reporters.

Calling all Wikipedians!

As a result of creating a new Kennedy Renovation page, I noticed that Stéphane Boudin did not have an article in Wikipedia, altho he is mentioned numerous times in the WH-related articles. I've started one for him, but anyone with greater knowledge and interest should please contribute. Sister Parish and Henry DuPont did already have articles, but about half of Parish's is about her nickname!

Also just noticed that James B West doesn't have an article... yet Jim West--guitarist for "Weird" Al Yankovic--does!
