Mr Brown
And because high school boys had learned the habit of addressing each other and identifying themselves by their surnames, he has carried this into adulthood. He will often introduce himself simply as ‘Brown’. ‘Good evening,’ he might say, ‘I am Brown.’ And this has become a sort of unwitting joke – for the word ‘brown’ on the island signified something more than just a name, but a sort of ethnicity, a mulatto-ness if you will. ‘Brown by name and nature, I see!’ is a rejoinder with which Sebastian Brown has become all too familiar. These days he even anticipates it, but is generous enough to smile each time, as if he is hearing the witticism for the first time.

Hearnes Elem. to get new playground By Amber Ruch and Alayna Chapie | March 5, 2021 at 12:09 PM CST - Updated March 12 at 6:19 PM
CHARLESTON, Mo. (KFVS) - Warren E. Hearnes Elementary School will soon receive new playground equipment, including some pieces that are inclusive.
The project is possible because of a grant from the Mississippi County SB40 Board, as well as the CDC Healthy Schools Grant and local funding.
According to the school district, a large, inclusive play-place will be installed to the west of Pod E on the upper elementary playground. It will have a ramp, climbers, slides, tunnels, shaded sections, a tilted rock challenge wall and more.
