SO MUCH has been going on with the Cowsills that SPEC thought it was about time to sit them down and find out just what they've been up to. So here goes!
One the personal side - those "little" Cowsills have sure grown up! Would you believe that Susan (who's letting her hair grow) just turned twelve this past May 20th? Well, it's true, and as for the rest of the Cowsill kids - John was 16 years old on March 2nd; Barry will be 17 come September 14th; Paul, will be 19 on November 11th; and Bob celebrates his 22nd birthday this August 26th. And in addition to getting older - those beautiful Cowsills have gotten taller too. Just listen to this! Susan is five feet and one inch tall - and still growing! John now stands a tall six feet; at last count. Barry was five feel and nine inches tall; Paul stopped growing at six feet and two inches; and Bob stands five feet and eleven inches tall.
For those of you who took the time to write to SPEC asking, "What grades are the Cowsills in?" - here's that information for you too! As of this June, Susan finishes the sixth grade; John will be a sophomore in high school this September; Barry will be a senior; Paul just completed his first semester of college; and as of this year - Bob graduated from college!
After living in Santa Monica, California, for two years - earlier this year the Cowsill family (including Susan's pet poodle "Subar" and her cat "Jennifer") packed up and moved to a new home in Glendale, California. As just about the very same time, big brother Bill and his pretty wife Karen made Bud and Barbara grandparents! Travis Taylor Cowsill was born on January 30, 1971, in St. John's Hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Tulsa is now home for Bill and his family, and as soon as SPEC has some more news about Bill - you'll be the first to know! By the time you read this, Bob and his lovely wife Nanci will be getting ready to celebrate their first wedding anniversary (June 6th). It seems like only yesterday when both Bill and Bob were bachelors - and now they're both married men! Well - don't fret - you still have Paul, Barry and John, who claim they play to stay single for quite a while yet!
