Memory Book

Laura: THanks so much for including us in your lovely memorial to your father, Cyrus Brown. We can think of no more appropriate memorial to him than to feature Harvard and music. He was a Harvard man through and through, as you know, and he always enjoyed music: particularly singing in an acapella singing group at Harvard, and at the Church of the Heavenly Rest when he lived in New York. We met him through his brother Chris, who was Charles's roommate at Yale Law School. A long friendship formed with both brothers, and even more with your parents when we lived in New York. Their New Year's Eve parties were legendary, featuring a high octane punch laced with tea to keep everyone awake. We had so much fun with your parents exploring all the ethnic restaurants in New York. Your Dad had a marvelous sense of humor and was always good company. He was so proud of you, even telling us your test scores at school. We were honored to have known him, and deeply saddened to have lost a good friend of more than 50 years. Our sympathy to you and your family for his loss. Anne.
