Presenting "Seven Decades of Dad"

I just realized last night that although Dad is just a young lad of 60, he has actuallly lived in seven decades. So here is a brief recap of his life in pictures (these are just some of the ones I have).

Aww, Brooks, that's a great collection of phots--what a great idea! Your dad looks especially cute as an older man, and your mom is just gorgeous in all of the pictures! Very nice. Happy Birthday, Mr. Brown, from way down in Park County.

Thanks sangroncito and jamie.

My dad is one of the most amazing people I have ever known. I have learned so much from him and not a day goes by where I don't remember a lesson he taught me when faced with a challenge, Whether it be the best way to remove a stump from my backyard or how to use correct grammar in writing a sentence. I know I got lucky having two parents that put so much time and hard work into parenting and I am very grateful for both of them.

Your photo documentary shames mine of my dad!

That's okay! Your forgiven!
lol!

I need more info!

Why did your dad move to Montana. How does a person spend vast majority of their life in Alabama end up in Montana?

And did they find a protestant church, My last info has Montana being 95% Catholic....

lol girl, need data!!!!!!

The documentary of your Dad was very nice and gave me the idea to make mine.

My parents moved to Montana in June 1999 because my father, after teaching and being the head of the journalism department for 20 years, needed to get out of Auburn. Dad made a good name for himself at Auburn by making major improvements to the department and starting getting job offers from all over. He interviewed at Ole MIss and I believe UGA as well, but thought those campuses were too much like Auburn where football plays too big a role and the good ole boys on the board of trustees see to it that it stays that way.He was asked to interview at the University of Montana in Missoula in early 1999, flew up there to interview and accepted the job after my Mom had gone up there with him to scope the place out. My family is episcopal so I don't know about the protestant churches up there, but I will ask my parents. There is a small Jewish group has a place of worship on the campus so I am sure there has to be a protestant population in Missoula. I just don't know a lot about it. I will get back to you on that.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, ya right, you don't hear much about football from Montana.

Interesting thing about Episcopals and Catholics: the only exception to Catholic Priests being celibate are the ones that use to be Episcopals. I think 1% of our priests are Ex-Episcopals that migrated to the Catholic church. .05% are ex-Lutherans.

The Catholic Church will accept Ministers from these 2 denominations even if they are married.

It is very hypocritical, but when you need a ready-made priest, you can't be choosy....

I just reread your comment.

Episcopals don't consider themselves Protestant?
Brooks Brown said…
The Episcopal church is a branch of the Catholic church so is not considered Protestant. That is my understanding of it.
mojoala said…
That indeed is interesting, gonna have to do some research on the matter....
Brooks Brown said…
I should have added to that that the Episcopal Church, like the Catholic Church, is Anglican and therefore lumped in on the Catholic side of the fence.
mojoala said…
Lutheran's service closely imitate the catholic and the episcopal's as well.

Ironic that lutheran was once a catholic monk and eventually started the reformation that broke up the only denomination that existed and which whose actions resulted in the many warring denominations we have now....
