After earning a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Duke University, he served on the psychology faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 1962 to 1990 and was also Director of Psychological Services at the state-funded Children’s Psychiatric Institute at Butner, N.C. His interest in, and exploration of, the Unicoi Mountains began in 1964 when he started camping there in Horse Cove Campground with his wife, Pat, and two young sons during summer vacations. In 1971 Owen and Pat purchased 15 acres of land on West Buffalo Creek in the Unicoi Mountains and began tent camping there during holidays. When Owen retired in 1990, he immediately began personally building (with the generous help of his friend, Dave Parton) a cabin on this land. Since the late 1960s he has kept files of trustworthy information gathered about the Unicois, including records of plants, mushrooms, and animals that he observed there, as well as records of observations made by other persons who were qualified identifiers. His desire now is to share with others what he has found so fascinating.lihat lebih sedikit
