Description
Lowell arrived in South Africa from the United States in the mid-fifties. In education he held a masters in radio announcing and came to South Africa for a PhD in intercommunications. Having arrived there he found a few Bahá'ís introducing their faith there. Since he was also a Bahá'í at the time, he gave up studies to assist in teaching his faith. He had served in the army during WWII and had met some musicians like Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Sarah Vaughn in New York on the "Eddie Camden Show." In South Africa, Lowell developed an interest in jazz and became one of the prominent jazz announcers in the country on Springbok Radio and the SABC. His shows were "Jazz International" and "The Lexington Big Band Show."
He stayed in South Africa from the time he arrived, serving at first as chairman and then as secretary of the Bahá'í National Spiritual Assembly, an administrative body in South Africa. He held that post as secretary from 1976 until he retired when he aged. In his lifetime Lowell wrote eleven books about people he knew as Bahá'ís in the world and the teachings of his faith. He used his radio voice to record many Tablets of the Bahá'í Faith on CD and left a legacy of a number of those that are available among the Bahá'ís in South Africa and the United States.
After many years of service, Lowell passed on in Johannesburg and is buried there. He is missed by so many, but they all live on in hope of meeting in the Next World.
