KEVIN L. BOWSER: A Twin With His
Own Style
He
may have been an identical twin, but Kevin L. Bowser, 45,
was no carbon copy of his genetically significant other.
"We hadn't dressed alike since grade school," said Kelvin
Bowser. Though people confused the two, the brothers
rarely played upon their surface sameness &emdash; except
as boys. When one faced a trip to the principal's office,
he tended to claim that he had been mistaken for his
twin.
Kevin was a vegetarian, a discipline that became more
pronounced after their mother's death from cancer in
1991. Philadelphia Eagles fans since they were 5, they
attended the same college, Kutztown State in
Pennsylvania, at the instigation of their high school
football coach; Kevin played defensive end.
After getting his business degree, Kevin stayed in
Philadelphia, married and had two children, but commuted
to a Wall Street job in Marsh & McLennan's technology
division, teaching brokers how to use their computer
software. This year he obtained company financing for the
community football team that his twin coaches in
southwest Philadelphia. "We hadn't even written the
thank-you letter yet," Kelvin said.
