Milly Brown Passes

Last weekend at the Dershowitz party I saw Don Brown, Milly Brown's son, and he told me the sad news about his mom. I was so sorry to hear it. Those of us who have lived in this end of the valley for a long time remember Milly out on the road on her daily walks. She was always friendly and happy to engage in a neighborly conversation. Below in some information I found on the web about her life. My condolences go out to the whole Brown family from everyone in the Woodland Community Association.
