On October 8th 1934, WILLIAM EDWARD SHARP was born at a campground in Akron, Ohio... I'm not quite sure how true that statement is - but knowing how often and how many places Ed, Nancy, Johnny, Michael and Jimmy camped - it must have been true!
....and Mike, Jim and their families have continued the legacy.
Johnny was even born in TURKEY while they were camping - although some speculate that the camping trip was just a coverup while Ed worked for the US Government in some kind of secret - who knows what?
We can only imagine all the wonderful experiences they had back in those days.
There is even a picture of John, Mike and Jim in front of an old castle in England.(They probably camped there, too).
ON BEHALF of the BROWN FAMILY - we have been, and will continue to be, honored to watch Ed's and Nancy's children, grand children, and great grand children branch out into a BEAUTIFUL FAMILY TREE.

Dear Nancy and family,
My deepest sympathies to all of you. May you find comfort in the love and support of family and friends and in the cherished memories of the happy moments you and Ed spent together. In time may those good memories fill the void you now feel and help heal your heart and spirit.
Most sincerely,
Carol Coles Graf (Susie's longtime friend)
