Betty and Phil Stevens first met in 1948 in Topeka when Phil was dating Betty's roommate. They eloped in 1950 and married in Bentonville, Ark. They have six children.
Walter Denholm, 76, left, says he's been "doctoring" with Phil Stevens "since right after he came to Tongie," and considers Dr. Phil a good friend as well as a physician. "You bet," said Denholm, "and if he doesn't know he'll send you to of docs won't do that." The photos on the wall are of babies Dr. Stevens delivered during his first eight years of practice.
Danielle Irwin, 5, tries on tiptoes to reach the sliding weight on the old set of scales in Dr. Phil Stevens' Tonganoxie doctors office. The scales belonged to Phil's father, Dr. Delos Stevens, and were used in his Oskaloosa office. Danielle is the daughter of Steve and Elizabeth Irwin.
