When one has the opportunity to indulge in local history, meeting up with fascinating people becomes par for the course.
Here on the Outer Cape, I've certainly met my share over the last two decades, but one who has always stood out in the crowd is none other than Jim Owens.
The 88-year-old Owens, Eastham's beloved town miller since 1974, was honored for his 50-plus years of service and creativity by the Eastham Historical Society on Dec. 5.
