Curt Brown's son on way to California grad school

Former BJ reporter and long-time union PR guy Curt Brown’s son, J. Curtis Brown, Jr., will be doing graduate work at Mills College in Oakland, California, beginning in August. His goal is a master’s in fine arts in book art and writing.

The long drive so far has taken him to New Mexico where he sent Curt a photo of a multi-colored grasshopper.

J. Curtis, Jr. is the son of Curt and Curt's late wife, Jolan "Jody" Moldvay Brown, who died in 1993.

After his United Rubber Workers that morphed into United Steelworkers gig, Curt the father was music director and organist/choirmaster at New Life Episcopal Church in Uniontown for years before his June retirement from that job.
