Melanie Brown

Yes

Let's see: Knox College 1994 with a major in Fine Art, The American University 1998 MFA in painting. I've been married to Michael Patti since 1997 and we just had our first child, Phineas, September 2007. I've been painting and teaching art to both children and adult students at Lillstreet Art Center in Chicago. My brother Garrett moved up here and I've been in his band for a few years playing keys and singing harmonies.

Many of the stories I tell people revolve around Dr. Talley and his antics. Don't get me wrong, I loved his classes, but he did some crazy stuff. I miss dancing to the T-Connection band at football games. Hands down, we had the best band in the state.

Most of all, I miss Jenny's Dodge Dart. I just saw Dr. Byrne in Oregon, and she no longer has such a large green car. *sigh*
