My only "live" contact with John Cowhig (other than seeing him on tape or beside MMY at official movement functions) was sitting beside him as a bus took me and my fellow TTC participants to a Switzerland location and Cowhig hitched a ride with us. We were beneath contempt for him. He had a frown on his face the entire time, refused to speak or interact with us and was, up to that time, the most surly, unpleasant individual I'd ever encountered. He made Michael Yankhaus look like the hugging saint by comparison. My experience with John was always quite the opposite. He was the most personable and down-to-earth of MMY's secretaries at that time. One time I drove across Switzerland with him and another fellow in an old Mercedes with failing brakes. He entertained us most of the way with cool stories from various spiritual books I had read. Being MMY's secretary, he was under a lot of pressure to tow the line, keep secrets, etc., but he did that with grace and humor. Regarding Michael Yankaus, he went through a period of straining and being unnatural, as did many of us, but these days he is very open-minded.
