Get to know Jim Cowan

Favorite book:"Flatland"

Favorite movie: "Groundhog Day"

Favorite food: "Anything Americana"

Hobbies: "Sailing"

Pet peeve: "Folks who lack initiative"

Most embarrassing moment: "During my veterinary school interview, a professor asked what I did in my spare time. The first thought that raced through my head was with everything I was doing, I didn't have any spare time. But, when I did have a chance to kick back, with the little free time I had, I would click on the TV. With this thought, I blurted, 'I watch TV.' The comment befuddled the entire panel of interviewers. You could have heard a pin drop. Despite the comment, I was accepted into veterinary school. So, I'm guessing they appreciated my honesty."

Proudest moment: "The birth of our three children"

Laughed the most when:"As a kid, I asked my Dad if he wanted to play '52 card pick-up' just before he and my Mom headed out to a dinner party. He said, 'Sure,' and I proceeded to spill the cards all over the den. I was laughing. He wasn't."

Would like to be remembered as:"Someone who cared about our community."
