Google the name Lee Bowers and you get dozens of links to pages about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. At the time of the 1963 shooting, Bowers was a 38-year-old railroad worker who allegedly had an unobstructed view of the infamous grassy knoll. Bowers testified before the Warren Commission and eventually died in a 1966 car accident — some claim that it wasn'tan accident.But Mr. Lee Bowers is not the artist featured tonight at Rockhurst University's Greenlease Gallery (1100 Rockhurst Road, 816-501-4407). Ms. Lee Bowers is a Topeka native who spent 25 years creating graphics and special effects for film and TV. Her exhibit here, Loose & Over the Pond, includes black-and-white landscape drawings inspired by the Kansas Flint Hills and other picturesque environs. Bowers speaks at 6:30 p.m.; the reception runs from 7 to 9 p.m. Greenlease Gallery
