Probate attorney Richard Brown is SGR's newest member (inducted Monday, December 8) sponsored by Ken Seefeld. Richard practiced law in the state of Washington for more than 38 years before returning recently to his Utah roots. Born in Logan, he and his family relocated to the state of Washington when he was 10-years-old. A graduate of Olympia High School and the University of Washington with a BA degree, Richard went on to also graduate from the University of Utah Law School - so any allegiance to a sports team is somewhat muddled, he jokes! He currently limits his practice to estate planning and probate but during his legal career in Washington he also served many years as a City Attorney. The most well known of the cases in which he was involved was that of Mary Kay Letourneau. "I was only involved peripherally," states Brown, "but it was an interesting and high profile case which got a lot of media attention."He and his wife, Anne are the proud parents of six young adults - including two they adopted from Costa Rica. He and Anne also enjoy their role as grandparents to 17. In his spare time, Richard enjoys golf, pickleball, bridge, reading and watching football on TV.
This Rotarian was a member of the Des Moines, Washington Rotary Club for five years and was hopeful there would be an opportunity to belong to "this wonderful organization when we moved to SunRiver. That club did not materialize, so I jumped at the chance when Ken suggested I join St. George Rotary."
