The Vent Pipe

My freshman year of college I wrote a post about the anti-conservative ramblings of a sociology professor of mine.  His views and mine did not ‘play well together,’ but he and I, I think, had a mutual respect for each other and our view points.

While he was not my favorite professor, nor was he, in my opinion, an overly gifted educator, I did appreciate him.

A reader emailed tonight to tell me that he passed away this Sunday, on Easter.

From all of us here at TVP–well, ok, from me–best wishes and heart felt condolences go out to the friends and family of Dr. V.J. Brown and the Shepherd University community.  Surely the entire SU community had a great friend in Dr. Brown.

A sports fan and pround grandfather, I remember Dr. Brown with his sweater vest and SU baseball caps at Ram Stadium on football Saturday’s always supervising his grandchildren more than I really remember him in the classroom.

Dr. Brown was a professor sociology and, for many years the Dean of School of Business and Social Sciences.  Brown was 70 years old.

This has not been confirmed, but I am waiting to hear back.
