I think Mr Brown was my teacher at Edmonds Junior High School. One of my favorites! I ended up teaching! Just retired after 47 years mostly junior high school!

Ken was my favorite teacher. I had him in the 7th grade at Edmonds Jr. High. He challenged us to be our best and to love learning. I have kept in contact with him over the years and had lunch with him in mid-August. l loved him and will miss him always. He was the best teacher and friend. Vicki Hoggins

"A long long time ago...about last Thursday..." began every story from Mr. Brown in the library. He was always such a caring man. I have been looking for him for a long time to thank him for being a kind and caring influence. I'm sorry for your loss.
