I am so sorry to hear of Mr Browns passing. How wonderful that he has lived 105 years. I knew the family as a child growing up in Enosburg. My name is Marcia Graeter and I am a Douglas now living in Nova Scotia, Canada. Iris was a year behind me in school and was in my brother Bob’s class. My deepest sympathy to Mr Browns family.
