Roger Brown remembered.

I don't remember exactly when I first met Roger, but I was Assistant Minister at the church he and his parents attended, back in 1957-1960, and that is probably when we met. His father, Maynard Brown, was a local pharmacist, and was the brother of Stuart Brown, who built our house, back in 1973. So I knew the family. Back then, Roger might have been in school, or at least not living at home. Roger was unusual in the breadth of his interests. He had a particular interest in science, and the interface of science and religion. He also had an interest in China, and studied Mandarin. His ministry was mostly as an intentional interim, and he served 12 churches in that capacity. I have never been close to Roger, but this retired clergy group has given me a chance to know him better. He is a thoughtful person, and we are very much diminished by his death. Roger has a brother David, who is a UCC minister in Oregon. He will probably be here for Roger's funeral, which will be next spring.
