Mell's Basketball

The team played a tough
schedule in the Cleveland
Heights League in preparation
for the APMA tournament. A
few newcomers joined the
OCPM Basketball family
and played pivotal roles this

year, including Eddy
Baynham, Kyane Carter, and

Chris Yarden.

The team had a great year
of fund raising, including

numerous bake sales,
pizza sales, and the 1st

ever OCPM Men's
Basketball 3-on-3
Tournament. Eight teams
battled it out in the Walker
Center for the rights to the
gleaming trophies. The
fundraising efforts were
capped off with Ryan
Downey securing major
donations from both the
school and OPMSA.

superstar Ginette Downey was
unable to attend, but they look

They fought hard to work their

way through the tourney

the 2006 title, upholding
OCPM's winning tradition for

another year!

Dr. Kevin W. Dow

Dearest Kevin:
We are very proud of you and never doubted for a moment that you could do it! You explored

many avenues before settling on podiatry. Once the decision was made and goals set, you
mantained your focus and day by day worked your way to the finish line. The hard work and
sacrifice only increased your respect for your chosen profession and heightened your desire to
practice medicine. We know the road was not without it's shard of bumps and you showed the
initiative and perseverance to see it through, while maintaining your sense of humor and zest

for life.

We are also very proud of Nicole, Tyten, Kyah, and Azlynn.
They have stood behind you all the way, providing Daddy
with their love, support and understanding.
We wish you success with the next leg of your journey.
Congratulations Kevin.
Love from the Dow/Reintjes Family

Stephanie,
Many years of hard work and dedication have lead to this moment in time.
Words cannot express how proud we are of you and all that you have achieved.
May God continue to bless you and guide you in everything you pursue.

Love,

Congratulations Dr. Kevin W. Dow

"Walk a little slower Daddy," said a little child so small. I'm following
in your footsteps, And I don't want to fall. Sometimes your steps are
very plain; Sometimes they are hard to see. So walk a little slower,
Daddy, for you are leading me And what you did along the way, I'd
really like to know. For sometimes things get very hard, And I don't
know what to do. So walk a little slower Daddy, For I must follow

you.

Someday when I am all grown up I want to be like you. And I might
have a little child, who will want to follow too. Your feet are so much
bigger, It is sometime hard to do. So walk a little slower, Daddy For I

want to follow you.
