Verne H. Bovie

A warm, wise, and wonderful man. In my time at Nasson, I never met anyone who didn't like Dr Bovie.

My condolences to his family and friends. As an English major, I spent many enjoyable hours in his classes and like many of Nasson's faculty, it was easy to count him as a friend. He will be missed.

Evelyn and Family: I have always appreciated the fact that Verne, I think due to his difficult experiences in WW II, always cautioned me about the dangers of believing too uncompromisingly in any political ideology. I didn't agree with him then but now, thirty years or so later, I finally get the message. Thanks, Verne.
I wrote the following in a long piece reacting to a book on the history of Nasson College. That effort is a rambling mess but the fond mention of Verne Bovie is...

I am so sorry to hear this news. Dr. Bovie was always one of my favorites, top of the list. I was not an Eng or Lit major, but loved his classes and took as many as I could fit in. I was in the class of 1962. My condolences to the family.

I am sorry to hear of his passing. He was a well respected and liked professor, and 40 years later I can still picture him teaching our class.
