I'm always meeting people,' streetcleaner Fred Bowers, 64, says as he talks with George Fallis, an attorney who lives on Strathallan Blvd. Most persons on his beat know Bowers, who finds lost children and delivers messages - and, off duty, collect cameras, processes still and movie films, fishes and ties flies.
