San Antonio Express News, June 9, 2007 SAN ANTONIO -- Dr. Perry Post and Dorothy Bowen met in early 1941 at El Paso's Fort Bliss, where he was stationed and she worked at the Officers Club. The couple fell in love, and within months, the young officer from San Antonio and the woman, a native of Douglas, Ariz., became engaged. They married that June. Not long after, he was shipped to Hawaii. She was a director of volunteers at a hospital in Washington. It would be nearly four years before they were together again. Except for those years during the war, Dr. Post and his wife were seldom apart again, and would have been married 66 years on June 14. But this week, death separated them — although not for long. Post, 92, a former president of the Bexar County Medical Society and faculty member at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, died Monday. And so what was to have been a single funeral will now be a joint service. Specializing in family medicine, Post practiced briefly in Boerne after serving in World War II with the Army Medical Corps. From Boerne, Post moved his practice to the Jefferson area in San Antonio. Houston attorney Mason Post Hester said his grandfather attended St. Mary's University but left when he was 19 to start his medical studies at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.
