My wife is from here also. We both remember Dr. Owens. My grandmother used to come to him also & I was usually with her. So I knew him first hand. He was a very nice, caring & intelligent man for his times. I also remember when he passed away. It was a blow for the black community in those days & times. His main office was upstairs at the corner of Main & Loop 230 in the red building that used to house Curves! You can still see the stairs going up the side of the building!
