Calendar Events / Announcements '05 II / COWSILLS brother missing in New Orleans
« on: September 29, 2005, 03:57:53 AM »
If this is an inappropriate post, delete with my understanding.
Anyway, one of the group The Cowsills, Barry Cowsill, was lost in the New Orleans hurricane Katrina. He phoned his sister Susan twice, and hasn't been heard from since. Susan also lived in New Orleans, and evacuated safely with her husband and children.
The reason I'm posting this here, is that everyone is exhausting every possible idea. I know the fans of the original DS would be aware of The Cowsills.Â
The family believes Barry may still be in the New Orleans area. His picture and additional information can be found at the website "cowsill.com."Â
It's possible someone somewhere has seen him ... working in a hospital or center (he could have been evacuated anywhere in the country, though).Â
There have been media spots on ET and Showbiz Headline News. Today, it made AOL. There are some celebrities and such helping out ... but it's very frustrating. If anyone has any inkling of where he might be... It's a longshot, I know...
To return to an attempt to make this more "on topic," I last saw Barry at a benefit for Bill Cowsill (who has been in poor health), which was introduced by Shirley Jones. Jim P. (the DS Festival leader and producer) was in attendance.Â
I enjoyed talking with him about the 2004 DS pilot, and the possibility of having a DS festival in Hollywood. I don't know if he reads this group, but I recalled this as being the most official "looking" of all I visited.Â
I'm sure many Dark Shadows fans are familiar with The Cowsills. Members of the Cowsills have stated they enjoyed DS and one felt the show's media brought positive attention to their group. The group and TV show were popular during the same era... 1966-1971. They both "resided" in Newport, Rhode Island, etc.
If anyone has any idea where Barry Cowsill is, has seen him, or knows how to find him...

The HODS movie killed everything in sight, including the TV series.
