The graveyard at Trumpan Church, on the Isle of Skye's Waternish Peninsula, the scene of a bloody clan massacre in May 1578. In the battle that followed the MacLeods are said to have unfurled their famed Fairy Flag. More pics and info: https://t.co/v2UwpZkYJj pic.twitter.com/gRAhzkQ2Qn

Memories of my grandpa Sandy Brown (Alexander Chadbourne Brown ACB) MIT Yearbook pic.jpg in Cincinnati, Ohio, and as a chemical engineer and a Unitarian
Hi Ma, nice to talk yesterday evening: you asked whether I had gone somewhere interesting today, sounding a little like Annie Brown on Wisdom Creek Ranch, so I Tweeted this morning - "

I knew my grandfather Sandy Brown (Alexander Chadbourne Brown) from when I was born in 1960 until he died in 1987. My mother, Janie MacLeod, brother, Sandy MacLeod, and I would visit Granny and Grandpa in Cincinnati, Ohio, from the early 1960s through the mid-1970s many years in the spring, flying there, first from Boston, Massachusetts (Lexington, MA, then from Cambridge, MA, then Boston), until around 1966, then from New Haven, Connecticut (Hamden, CT), until about 1971, then from Washington DC (Bethesda, MD) until about 1974, then from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, until the second half of the 1970s. My grandfather, Sandy Brown, was a chemical engineer at Emory Industries in Cincinnati, OH, for much of his career, with around 9 patents to his name, in 'fatty acids.' He was born in Boulder, Colorado, spent some of his early years in Vinton, Iowa, after his mother died in childbirth having my great "Aunt Marf," Martha Brown Briscoe, his younger sister, when Sandy was around 6 years old. Grandpa Sandy Brown went to Phillips Academy Exeter in New Hampshire for at least high school, then to MIT for possibly 2 degrees, spending some time studying in Germany, and then studied I think at Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh, PA. He played classical piano beautifully. He and my Granny Brown were members of the Unitarian Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, for around 60s years. I recall visiting Grandpa and Granny in their house on Belmont Avenue, in Cincinnati, OH, and then in their house on Fairview avenue also in Cincinnati. Both houses had a piano, oriental rugs, and were comfortable and lovely in many ways. My grandfather was an engineer, a chemical engineer, and very knowledgeable about chemistry, geology, and many other sciences (which he had studied at MIT and Exeter, I think), and classical music. He was a quiet and thoughtful man, and particularly in relation to my talkative grandmother, his wife, whom I have called an 'oral historian' because of her nonstop talking. My grandfather, Sandy Brown, visited the MacLeods in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a number of times, after the 4 of us moved to Pittsburgh in 1974, from the Washington DC area, and my father, GKM MD, became a professor of Public Health at the University of Pittsburgh, as well as taught 'Grand Rounds' in Pitt's medical school. Grandpa Sandy was very forbearing (politely or patiently restrained in an impulse to do something, possibly regarding my grandmother's loquaciousness). Both Granny and Grandpa were originally from Boulder, Colorado, so in a sense were US westerners, before my grandfather spent time growing up in NE Iowa, probably from around 1905 to the mid-1910s, before he went to New England, and first Exeter in NH in the 1910s, and then MIT in the late 1910s? and the early 1920s. With my grandfather's tweed jackets, and his gray pants, and white shirts, chemical engineering clothes, (and my father's tweed jackets, and suit coats), both wore kind of New England academic and intellectual clothing. I recall going out to see eclipses with my grandfather and family, cutting a hole in a box to see the image in the back of the box, so as not to look at the sun. I recall also going to the half dome in the Pittsburgh train station and exploring its interesting acoustic properties. I recall going to see state parks with Indian mounds in Ohio and to learn about their cultures. I recall going on many many museum visits in Cincinnati, and to the Museum of Natural History there with my grandfather. My grandfather was a knowledge-oriented thinker, a MIT engineer, and knew the 'hard sciences' - and chemistry and 'fatty acids' for example - from a 1920s' MIT perspective, and developed this knowledge in his career as I think the main engineer at Emory Industries in Cincinnati, OH, for much of his adult life. (In what ways will we be able to bring back Grandpa Sandy Brown as a virtual avatar bot with artificial intelligence and machine learning and to be able to talk with him in the future, and for genealogical questions too? Am exploring related questions further in my blog - https://scott-macleod.
