I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Browns passing. I worked with him at Wilford Hall in the Photography Department in the early 80's. He was my mentor and taught me so much more then just regular training did. I still use his advice in my job. He use to joke about my hair when ever I got it permed. It was a running joke in the office. I looked up to Mr. Brown. You were so very lucky to have him in your lives.
