Joseph Michael Brown

I WAS BORN: Oct. 2, 2012, in St. Vincent’s Hospital in Billings, Mont.

MY GREAT-GRANDPARENTS ARE: Eleanor Wuchter of Belmar, N.J.; and the late Rev. Robert Wuchter, Robert and Thelma Dyer; Joseph and Virginia Larakers and Alvin Gene and Melva Brown.

MY PARENTS CHOSE THIS NAME BECAUSE: Joseph is my great-grandfather’s and great-great-grandfather’s name on my father’s side. Michael is the name of my grandfather on my mother’s side. They liked having a family name from each side.

PARENTS’ WISH OR ADVICE: Our desire for Joseph is that he will grow up to love and serve the Lord and so be a light and a blessing to those around him, making a difference in the world around him.

SOMETHING SPECIAL: Joseph was born at 5:21 p.m. He arrived with a full head of dark hair that hangs down over his ears and the back of his neck. He was visited by his two loving sisters, as well as his grandma.
