COHEN: It’s good of you to be <strong>with</strong> us this June 14 th , 1999.<br />
BROWNE: Yes. It’s warm out there.<br />
COHEN: OK, <strong>Lee</strong>. I could call you Mr. <strong>Browne</strong>, but I feel too familiar to do that.<br />
BROWNE: [Chuckle] That’s all right.<br />
COHEN: Tell us a little bit about your childhood and your family. Let’s start there.<br />
BROWNE: Well, my mother was about sixteen, but she was a mature sixteen. We lived in North<br />
Carolina. She was from Reedsville. And this young man came down from Nantucket. Where is<br />
that? In Massachusetts or somewhere like that?<br />
COHEN: Massachusetts, yes.<br />
BROWNE: And [he] met my mother and looked at her. I guess he liked her. She was one of<br />
these corn-fed women that became voluptuous when she was young.<br />
COHEN: [Chuckle] Good. OK.<br />
BROWNE: And then he went to the war.<br />
