An Appreciation of Frank Brown

Frank Brown, Editor of the Eastleigh Weekly News, died on 14th May, 1994. He was a man devoted to his family, a loyal friend of the community and a distinguished journalist. He was never happier than when he was at home sitting at his typewriter, or more recently his computer, writing about his family life, his town and the community he loved. For me, he typified the best kind of journalist, courteous in interviewing, painstaking in research, with a phenomenal memory and accurate in reporting; perhaps his secret was that he loved people and writing about them.
