Class of 1956. William L. "Bill" Owen. Football, Basketball, Baseball, Wildcat Yearbook, Chorus. Served as photographer at the 50th Year Reunion of the Class of 1956, held June 3, 2006. ~ ~ ~ ~ In 1956, I enlisted in the United States Air Force with Wally Mangum (BYH Class of 1956) on the Buddy System where we were supposed to be together for four years. We parted company in just three weeks. I was based at Parks AFB, California; Shepard AFB, Texas; Travis AFB, California; Yokota AFB Japan where I trained as an A and E Mechanic on the B-36, C-124, C-97, and was a crew chief on a KB-50 in Japan for two years with the 1501st Air Refueling Squadron. After four and one half years, I was discharged and returned to the US. I ended up in Idaho Falls, Idaho where I briefly attended Ricks College. I moved to California for about two years where I worked for Standard Oil then returned to Idaho to work for The Atomic Energy Commission in Arco, Idaho. After three years, I received an offer from Boeing Aircraft to work in Renton, Washington where I worked on the 707, 727, 737, and 747 aircraft. It was good to be back around the smell of aircraft again. By now I was twenty-seven years old and had a great desire to serve an LDS mission. After serving in the Southern States mission for one year, I developed cancer and was sent to SLC for surgery and several months of cobalt treatments (cancer treatments were pretty archaic in 1967 and survival was rare, but I lived.) To complete my mission I was transferred to Southern California where I served for thirteen months. Thinking that I might become a coach, I applied at BYU and received an acceptance letter to the Women's Physical Education program. For physical reasons, I had to turn them down. I decided instead of sports to get an associate degree in Photo-Technology / Communications. They didn't have a photography program at BYU at the time and I became an assistant to Wally Barrus, who worked very hard to get a photography program started, which he did. I helped build the first lab and studio which was housed in the Arts Building of BYH (Lower Campus) in the old Home Economics room and upstairs (Mrs. Hart's room was our studio). Later we moved to the basement of the Harris Fine Arts Building on BYU campus. In June 1970 I married my favorite model at BYU, Kathe Dahle from Pasco, Washington. We were married in the Salt Lake City Temple and then moved to San Diego, California, where I worked for Deans Photo Service, a photo finishing lab. This was about the time same-day photo service began. We returned to BYU to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Communications (Photography). I became Wally Barrus's lab assistant and taught Lab Technology classes. While at BYU, I was lead photographer for the Daily Universe; photographing everybody and everything; sports, forums, drama, etc. After graduation, I opened Owen-Martin Photo Service in Provo, which was a same-day photo service. I later sold my half of the business to Martin and opened Owen Film Service in Ogden, Utah. We did very well the first few years. We did a lot of custom work and later renamed the lab Owen's Custom Color Lab, where we provided one-hour service and catered to the professional and semi-professional photographers. We enjoyed developing the panoramic photos of one of our customers, and in 1991 bought his business, Panoramic West. Seeing the impending obsolescence of our lab as the technologies changed to digital, we closed our lab in 1997 (after 22 years0. We now photograph graduating classes, class reunions, family reunions, etc. I have three wonderful children, two girls and one boy. Our son is still at home and is nineteen years old. I have five grandchildren and hope to retire in the next two years. @2006 ~ ~ ~ ~ HIS OBITUARY: William Lee Owen passed away on Friday April 15th, 2011 at his home surrounded by his loving family. Bill was born on January 10, 1938 in Thomasville, Georgia. He moved to Utah at the age of 8. He is the son of Ruth Robertson Owen and Whitney Hudson Owen. He loved sports and was exceptional at baseball and basketball. He graduated from BY High School in 1956. Shortly thereafter he joined the United States Air Force and served four years, two years in Japan. Bill was a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Southern States mission. After surviving cancer, he completed his mission in Southern California. He graduated from Brigham Young University in Photography and was honored with the Outstanding Photo Technology Graduate award. Bill married Kathleen Elaine Dahle on June 1st, 1970 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They were blessed with three wonderful children: Tara Leigh, Cynthia Ruth, and Alex Preston. They now have two son-in-laws, Joseph Korn and Adriel Jacobson, and six beloved grandchildren: Jake, Jace, Sydnee, Samantha, Kayana, and Gabriel. Bill and his wife Kathe owned and operated Owen Film Service in Ogden, Utah from 1976 to 1997, and Panoramic West until they retired in 2007. He served in many capacities for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was a missionary at heart, serving with his wife in New Zealand for eighteen months prior to his long struggle with illness. Bill was loved by everyone who knew him and will be missed for his wonderful sense of humor and his kind, compassionate, loving soul. He is survived by his wife of nearly forty one years, three children and six grandchildren, two brothers, Clinton Owen, Michael and wife Jeanne Owen, and one sister, Deborah and husband Robert Romney. Bill was preceded in death by his parents. Interment is at Ben Lomond Cemetery. A funeral/memorial service will be held Tuesday April 19th 11 a.m. at 1600 North 400 West in Harrisville (the Harrisville LDS 7th Ward Chapel). Visitation with the family is prior to the service beginning at 10 a.m. in the Relief Society Room. [Ogden Standard Examiner, April 17, 2011]

Marian Swenson

Class of 1941. Marian Owens. Editor, Wildcat Yearbook 1941. Fauvines, President. Forensics. Notre Maison. Student Newspaper Staff. Commercial Contest. She married _______ Swenson. ~ ~ ~ ~ HER OBITUARY: On April 6, 2008, Marian Owens Swenson surrendered herself to the loving arms of her Creator, after a series of setbacks related to a rare blood disorder. Marian was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on January 23, 1925, to James Alfred Owens and Martha Minerva Hinckley. From her earliest days, Marian excelled in educational pursuits. She graduated from Brigham Young High School in the Class of 1941. She earned a Bachelor's degree from Brigham Young University, where she majored in English and minored in French. After college, her path led to married and family life, and she is survived by her accomplished son, Gordon, and best friend and loving daughter, Adrienne. Marian had a rich tapestry of cultural interests that included attending performances of the Utah Symphony, Ballet West, and the Utah Opera. Through many years, her dear sister, Darlene Owens Ball, was her companion for many of these events. As their lives gained depth and complexity, Marian and Darlene began traveling abroad together. Before her traveling days were behind her, Marian had visited London, Paris, Sweden, China, Peru, Ireland, Russia, New York, Spain, and others. Russia held an especially poignant spot in Mom's heart. She studied the often tragic history of the land and people, and grieved for the unrelenting oppression and hardships they endured, while marveling at their strength of spirit, and cultural excellence. She admired the Bolshoi and Kirov Ballet companies. Witnessing Rudolph Nureyev dance in London, and Mikhail Baryshnikov dance in New York, were highlights of her life that she never tired of remembering. Mom was deeply affected by her sister Darlene's death several decades ago, and missed her every day following her loss. Many decades of Mom's life were dedicated to service in the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Utah. Though she excelled in all aspects of her career, her favorite responsibility was counseling and guiding students. The care and concern she showed each student was validated as many of them came back to thank her years or decades later, bringing pictures of kids and grandkids, and regaling her with stories of career and family following their successful completion of University life. In the last decades of her journey on this earth, Marian became very close to her daughter Adrienne. As her physical form began to betray her, bringing some of the sadness and confusion that aging can bring, their relationship took on new meaning. They worked hard to clear the issues of the past and find new ways to enrich each others' souls. As her body waned, Marian's spirit took on a radiance and strength that will never be forgotten by anyone who knew her. Hand in hand with Adrienne, Marian continued to embrace new ways of living and loving based on spirit and purpose, despite circumstance. She died filled with the same remarkable love and courage that marked her very special life. "Mom, I love you with all my heart, and feel you here with me. You have changed me, encouraged me, forgiven me, loved me, and enriched me beyond measure. You will remain my beloved, tender-hearted Mom and dearest friend forever." A wake service for family and friends was held on Thursday, April 17, 2008 at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Salt Lake City. [Deseret News, Sunday, April 13, 2008.]
