And Joe Brown received both in rich measure from Raymond and Janie Duffy Brown at his home in Parsons. Unlike some people who cling to strong roots, Joe had the urge to try out his wings at the earliest opportunity right out of high school, as a matter of fact "I wanted to go to Rockhurst," he said, "to check out the Jesuits." That check-out didn't take long, and Joe found it so satisfactory that he soared off "on a wing and a prayer" at age 19 to join the Society of Jesus in St. Louis.

Thirteen years later in 1956, he was ordained Father Joseph E. Brown, S.J. in St Mary's, Kans. Proof that he has been flying high ever since is easy to come by. In 1988, as a clinical psychologist at the David P.
