Bonnie McDowell turned a chance meeting in high school into the career of a lifetime.
As a three-sport athlete at Aledo High School, music wasn’t on McDowell’s schedule—athletics, she said, was her passion. However, that changed the day a young teacher named Dorothy Klinger approached her and invited her into the choir.
Apparently the teacher heard McDowell—Bonnie Pellant at the time—singing and thought her voice would be a good addition to her group.
So McDowell gave it a try and it led her to show choir, musicals and participating in various music contests.
