Dr. Del Austin

Dr. Austin, founder of the D.A.A.P.E. Mobile, was born in Wynona, MS in 1919 and completed medical school at Ole Miss and Jefferson College in Philadelphia, PA. Dr. Austin, along with two other volunteer doctors and three volunteer nurses, helped to establish a small medical clinic at the Home of Grace where he continues to serve as a volunteer physician. It was Dr. Austin's fascination and interest in the personal stories told to him by the clients of the Home of Grace that gave him the idea for the D.A.A.P.E. Mobile.
