About Mrs. Dowie: Lara Dowie is the Director of Development and Alumni Relations.  This is her 10th year in the Development Profession, her 3rd here at CAA.  Her husband, Shawn, is a Civil Engineer who works for T.M. Rippey Consulting Engineers in Tigard, Oregon.  There are no children yet, but one very loved kitten, Little Lucy Lou, who was dumped off here on campus one summer.  Lara adopted her and took her home as a "surprise" for Shawn.  He was thrilled.
