Donald Brown

My sympathies to Linda and family. As a new kid and freshman in high school, Mike went out of his way to make me feel welcome. I have always appreciated that and we have been friends ever since although separated by distance and career paths. Rest in peace to very good man.

Truly enjoyed my AP History class at Shawnee (c/o '88) with Mr. Brown. He encouraged us to research thoroughly, think critically, and debate respectfully. My sincerest condolences go out to his family.

I was a student of Mike's at Springfield Shawnee in the class of 1976. We had many fine teachers there, both as professionals and as people. For me, Mike stood out, even above the many other fine folk I knew there. We tended both to agree and disagree a lot--I was young and firm in my own ways then--but his positive influence on me lasted and lasted, and in many ways he initiated me, via both his own mind and by his example, to become a better person and a better thinker. I never found him to...

Mr Brown was a great teacher and one of my football coaches, he could always catch me goofing off lil

Mr. Brown was my favorite teacher. I greatly enjoyed conversations with him. Especially politics even though we were at opposite ends of the political spectrum. He was a great guy.

Loved Mr Brown! Fun class with actual learning! Remember a prank a few of us played on him. Put a magazine centerfold on the roll up/down world map. Was fun when he rolled the map down and there was a Playmate for him. I don't remember getting in trouble tho! Great Shawnee teacher!! (1975)

Was one of my Teachers at Shawnee back in the mid 70s. Really nice guy who treated everyone the same. Didnt have any enemies. Great Teacher and was always willing to help. RIP Mr. Brown
