      Let’s Get Acquainted

      Dear Family and Friends

      Even though some of you are meeting me for the first time, I already consider you my friend, not just an acquaintance. Nobody is a stranger to me and it won’t be long before you’ll be convinced that we really are friends. My name is Dr. Delores Johnson Brown. I was born Delores Johnson on March 20, 1942 at City Hospital in Baltimore, MD.

      I retired from Norfolk Public Schools in 1996, after completing twenty-eight years. I was a Reading Specialist and an educational specialist.

      My mother was Mrs. Sarah Catherine Goodman Johnson born on May 16, 1915 in Clinton, NC. She passed on January 1, 1981. She resided in Portsmouth, Virginia. She retired from the Norfolk Virginia Air Station. My father was Mr. Albert Harold Johnson born on January 28, 1914 in Clinton, NC. He passed on April 15, 1949. He served in the U. S. Navy and was stationed in Norfolk, VA. There were six children in my family. My brother, Lyndell Johnson was the oldest, born on October 8, 1931in Clinton, N.C. He expired on May 16, 2009, on my mother’s birthday. He retired from the U. S. Army and the U. S. Postal Service. Next, was Mrs. Frances Adelaide Johnson Holland who was the oldest girl and was born on July 9, 1935 in Wilmington, N.C. She expired on March 10, 1985. She retired from the Bendix Corporation as an electrical engineer. She resided in Newark, NJ. My second brother, James Lewis Johnson, nick named Jit. He was born on April 4, 1938 in Wilmington, N.C. He expired in 1963. He resided in Boca Raton, FL. He served in the U. S. Air Force. My third brother was Carl Harold Johnson, born on January 29, 1940 in Baltimore, MD. He expired on November 5, 1981, the same year that I lost my mother, in Portsmouth, VA. He served in the U. S. Air Force too. My baby sister is Sharon Baker, born on November 7, 1954. She resides in Portsmouth, VA. and is a residential engineer. Well, you’ve met my first family let’s move on to my second or immediate family.

      I am married to Mr. Allen B. Brown Sr. who was born on December 8, 1937 in Norfolk, VA. He retired from the United States Postal Service as a Manager of Distribution Operations. We had three sons and they all were born in Norfolk, VA. The first one is Allen B. Brown Jr. who was born on January 14, 1960. He lives in the same neighborhood as we do now, on Plantation Lakes Circle in Chesapeake, VA. Our second son was Alvalon Brown who was born on August 7, 1961 and he expired on December 14, 2010. Our baby boy is Altonio
