In Memoriam

CETA notes with sadness the passing on February 26 of Richard Brown, who taught electrical engineering here from 1963 to 1988 and served as chair of the Electrical Engineering Department from 1969 to 1982.

Brown, an Eagle Scout who earned that rank as a Lone Scout, served in the United States Army in World War II, then earned a Bachelor of Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1949 and a Master’s from Northeastern University. He taught first at Wentworth Institute in Boston, moving to Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont, after which he joined the University of Hartford.

A memorial service will be held on March 6 at 2 p.m. at the Avon Congregational Church in Avon, Connecticut.

Our sympathies are extended to Richard Brown’s family and friends.
