THE DRY PRONG NEWS
as
Ed Delatour
Hears It

Last week in Dry Prong was as a sad one due to the passing away of Richard
Duncan Daddy Brown, a man who was loved by all who knew him. Yes, Daddy Brown
died last week and left a lonely ache in the hearts of those who loved him .
Eighty six years this man lived on this earth---quite a while to stay but to
his friends it was too short.
We can all write nice things about people who die and say a grand people they
were, but when it comes a time to write about a person you knew and loved it
is with that lonesome feeling  you have in your heart, you offer a prayer to
the Man and say, Please God he was one of your people, take care of him.
