During the Depression he left school to support his family, and then in 1941, he joined the RCAF. His training took him to Rivers, MB, which inspired him to want to live on the Prairies.

He married Marion Ramsay Cunningham (1921-2007) in 1947, and the couple lived in various small communities in Ontario. In 1953, Lloyd attended Queen's University, graduating in 1958.

Custodial History
Mr. Visser a native of Thunder Bay, Ontario acquired this album at purchase through a stamp collection vendor. He recognized Brandon College in some of the photographs and took the initiative to donate the album to the Archives. Internal evidence within the album suggests that the album appears to have been created by Edward Lloyd Bowler (Class of 1931). We have made an administrative decision to use Bowler's name for the collection.
Scope and Content
This album contains several photographs of faculty and staff involved in related events at Brandon College in the late 1920s.
