Meet...Larry


Name: Larry Owens.

Department: Office of Enrollment Services.

How long at MUSC: 7 years.

Favorite room in the house: I live on a sailboat—cockpit at sunrise when the dolphins are running.

Favorite Web site: Weather Underground:  http://www.wunderground.com/.

Ingredient you must have in your refrigerator: Balsamic vinaigrette (my own mix).

Fondest childhood memory: My mother's nut rolls at Christmas time.

Pet peeve: People throwing cigarette butts out of their car windows—you've got an ashtray, use it.

Bad habit: Eating too many foods loaded with carbohydrates.

How do you stay fit: I'm a licensed massage therapist in addition to  my job at MUSC. Working with clients at Holistic Family Care and Charleston Massage and Bodywork about four evenings a week.  Doing a couple of massages a night keeps me fit.

What is your biggest challenge at work: Dealing with the many tasks related to commencement.

Three things that mean a lot to you: Sharing time with those I care about, being near the water, getting my massage license so I can help others.

If you suddenly had a free day, what would you do: Go fishing with my dad.

If you were told this was your last day to live, what would you do: Spend it on the water with my girlfriend.
