Who would have believed that When Dr. Arrived in our sleepy little town of Melbourne that one day he would be the one responsible for putting Melbourne Fl. on the map!!
Dr. brown was a legend in his time and I am grateful to have had him as a principle in elementary school as well as high school!
He was such a kind soul and is truly missed.

Rest in peace Dr. Brown. You were a wonderful influence. Not only on myself but all those who had the privilege of knowing. The class of 65 was honored to know you.

My Dad was in the Air Force and we were stationed at Patrick in the late 50s, early 60s. I went to Mel Hi from the middle of my junior year to the end of my senior year, graduating in 1961. Dr. Brown was the principal then, and I really liked him. I loved that I had the opportunity to take Russian while I was at Mel Hi. Many blessings to Dr. Brown's famiy and loved ones.

Dr. Brown's educational leadership was one of the main reasons my family moved from Texas to Melbourne in 1962. My parents wanted my sister and I to have a good education and they had read about how highly regarded the educational system was at Mel-Hi thanks to the leadership of Dr. Brown. He was not only a great educator but also a wonderful person!
I am so sorry for your loss of this very special man.
