Legendary KGO Radio Talk Show Host Ronn Owens stunned his fans with the announcement that he's been living with Parkinson's Disease and kept it a secret from the public for 12.5 years. He went public in an article in the San Francisco Chronicle and agreed to talk to one television station about his condition.

Cheryl Jennings sat down for a frank discussion with Ronn, his wife Jan Black, and his neurologist Dr. William Marks. Joined by his wife and his neurologist, he shared his story with only one TV station, ABC7's Beyond the Headlines.
