CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ARCHIVES ORAL HISTORY PROJECT Interview with Lee F. Browne by Shirley K. Cohen Pasadena, California June 14, 1999 Begin Tape 1, Side 1 COHEN: It’s good of you to be with us this June 14 th , 1999. BROWNE: Yes. It’s warm out there. COHEN: OK, Lee. I could call you Mr. Browne, but I feel too familiar to do that. BROWNE: [Chuckle] That’s all right. COHEN: Tell us a little bit about your childhood and your family. Let’s start there. BROWNE: Well, my mother was about sixteen, but she was a mature sixteen. We lived in North Carolina. She was from Reedsville. And this young man came down from Nantucket. Where is that? In Massachusetts or somewhere like that? COHEN: Massachusetts, yes. BROWNE: And [he] met my mother and looked at her. I guess he liked her. She was one of these corn-fed women that became voluptuous when she was young. COHEN: [Chuckle] Good. OK. BROWNE: And then he went to the war. http://resolver.caltech.edu/CaltechOH:OH_Browne_L
