Cowles, Robert & Hazel
Robert and Hazel Cowles were married shortly before W.W. II. Robert enlisted in the Navy and was a member of the Avenger Squadron, a local squadron that was sworn in exactly six months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Robert had a wonderful career at the Brach Candy Company from 1950 - 1980. Hazel has always cared for their home and enjoys being a full time homemaker. Robert and Hazel have traveled extensively and enjoy their time together. The merger of MidAmerican Energy Inc. with CalEnergy gave the Cowles the opportunity to establish a gift annuity. Their MidAmerican Energy stock was transferred to the Community Foundation and is providing them with a lifetime income. Mr. & Mrs. Cowles stated, “The gift annuity provides a steady income similar to the dividends. In fact, it is higher than the dividend”.
