Jack Brown

I grew up in Abilene. Attended Bonham, then Madison Jr High, finally CHS for sophomore year. Family transferred to Midland for junior and senior year. I graduated from Midland Lee in 1967.
After HS attended UTEP for two years, spent 4 years in the Navy, got married and had a child. We then returned to UTEP and graduated 1975. Took a job in the oil field and worked mostly overseas in Dubai, Malta, Norway, Singapore, Indonesia, and Venezuela. We returned to Houston in 2001. I'm now working in Deepwater Exploration in the Gulf of Mexico.

Does anyone remember the "infamous" high school band trip to Corpus Christi our sophomore year? The one where we got caught with something we shouldn't have had? The reputation for that followed me to Midland. I used to hang out with Colburn Dick, Morgan Jones, Butch Bellew, John Mingus, Linda Sonnamaker, Mary Charles Dick, and Jerry Herron. From Abilene I remember cruising to Mack's and all over town, the Paramount, etc. All in all a good place to grow up. I contacted John Mingus earlier this year here in Houston and we now have lunch once a month or so. I also got in touch with Morgan Jones and we correspond by email.
