As some of you may know, Lorain County theater, and Amherst's Workshop  
Players in particular, lost a good friend on February 10. Steve Brown,  
affectionately known as Brownie, lost his fight with a myriad of illnesses and  left us 
the day after his 48th birthday, much too soon. Steve was the  entertainment 
editor for the Chronicle for many years, and gave all of the local  theater 
groups his unconditional support. His many articles and reviews went a  long way 
toward making Lorain Countians aware of the scope of local theater, and  
brought people in who had probably never before seen a show . In the past  several 
years, he even trod the boards at Workshop in three plays, most  infamously in 
"Arsenic and Old Lace", playing a police detective. He also  appeared with us 
in "The Diary of Anne Frank" and "The Silver Whistle." He had  recently 
auditioned for "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."

Those of us who knew him are invited to share memories and celebrate his  
life at the theater on Friday night, February 25 from 7:30 - 9 p.m. We will  
supply coffee, tea and hot chocolate. And when we finish at the theater, those  
who wish to can repair to a local watering hole (to be decided upon) to raise a  
glass in his honor. Godspeed, Brownie.
