Geography teacher

Mr. Owens is one of my favorite teachers at Hubbard High. Without him I would not know my Great City of Chicago. He taught us that if you did not know your own neighborhood or your own city how are you expected to know the world. I remember some of the tricks he taught on how to get around Chicago I impress my nephews with that knowedge today.
