Kevin Patrick Brown at 60

At 60, my brother, Kevin Patrick Brown, has many reasons to be proud of his life's accomplishments on this special milestone. Here are just a few.

His wonderful wife Joyce
His son Scott, Scott's wife JJ, and their adorable daughter Aggie Sue
His beautifully-kept farm in Frenchtown
His long career in fire suppression as smokejumper, heli-tech specialist, dispatcher, teacher, etc.
His many, many friends
All the fish he's caught
His head room, which includes an assortment of the wild game he's tracked down.
His high school track records, which stood intact for a couple of decades
His travels---which include road trips to Alaska in all four seasons
His willingness to share his building talents with others
His photography and well-organized chronicles of life adventures
His cooking and barbecuing skills
His devotion to helping others
His love of Cabela's
His endless sense of humor and inherent impishness
His everyday zest for life and for not wasting one minute of it

As one of his sisters, who's spent nearly 59 years looking up to her big brother, literally and figuratively, I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing him a most wonderful day of celebrating 60 years of life well-lived.
