Deliver the “gold standard”
While the judges are elected in the county court, the three court commissioners of Kenosha county are elected by the judges. The judges appointed Heather Iverson, who previously served as an attorney for the Kenosha County’s Child Support Agency, to replace Dowse.
At his retirement party, the other two commissioners, Larry Keating and Elizabeth Pfeuffer, celebrated Dowse by presenting him with a framed cartoon signed by court officials.
Though Keating and Pfeuffer joked about their friendship, Keating turned serious when he spoke of his admiration for Dowse. “It’s the gold standard for professionalism and integrity,” he said.
Dowse said he enjoyed his job at the bank but felt it was time to move on. He looks forward to spending more time with his wife and family.
“When you turn 70, it’s time to go,” he said. “That was a good end to my career.”
