 | | Of Irish descent, Robert E. Lee "Bob" Brown was born May 22, 1910 in Geneva, Indiana, the youngest of five children.Both his father and uncle were oil drillers, a trade learned from their father. |
 | | Bob lent him five dollars to help make up the first month's rent and he painted the rooms that were to be used as the school, and when the doors opened, Bob was the first of the eight students that made up the student body that year. |
 | | In addition, Bob discovered that he had much greater success carving leather with a converted screwdriver than with the traditional swivel knife, so from that time on, that is all he used. |
