The Brown Family History--(A summary)
Imogene Wood, the daughter of William S. Wood and Lorena Bagwell Wood,
and Carl Brown, the son of Henry Marvin Brown and Jewell Holcombe Brown
were married on May 17, 1947 in Las Vegas, Nevada where Imogene was
starring in the Caesar's Palace presentation of The Showgirl Wore White.
Carl had just completed his tour of duty with McHale's Navy
serving on the USS Queen Elizabeth whose home port was in Las Vegas.
Later, Carl and Imogene returned to Haralson County to raise their five
daughters. Unfortunately, two daughters, Oprah and Madonna were
kidnapped by a band of Gypsies just outside of Felton, never to be heard
from again. The three remaining daughters, Carole, Cherl and Terri Lee
(all beautiful, vivacious and real smart) grew up in Haralson County and
graduated Suma-Humpa-Bumpa from Buchanan's finest girls' finishing
school - Bodies by Bertha.
Carole became a travel agent specializing in tours of Indian
reservations in North Dakota. It was on the reservation that she met a
man called Running Total whom she eventually married. They had two
children, a son they named Mega Byte and a beautiful daughter they
called Cute-As-A- Kitty. Years later when Carole finally got around to
doing the family laundry she discovered the name Ronald Wright written
in the waistband of her husband's underwear. Unknow to him, he had
originally been born in Bremen, Ga. but had unfortunately met up with
the Felton based Gypsies and was sold to the Indians when he was just a
baby.
Cherl followed her dreams to Nashville to be lead singer in a country
music band. Her group produced hit after hit, the most notable being
I'm A-Counting on You To Be True. She met her husband Luscious Larry
at a club where she was performing. He was the club's bouncer and had
the words I love to fling... and it shows tattooed on his arm. Their
two wonderful children, Heather and Natalie sing backup when they aren't
too busy..or tired..or shopping..or.
Terri chose to remain in Haralson County and give back to the community
all that she had gotten from it. She opened a school in the former
premises of her Alma Mater and renamed it Terri's Chop Shop. There
she teaches disadvantaged Gypsies the correct way to do the TomaHawk
Chop. So far her success rate has been fantastic - not one of her
students has been thrown out of the stadium for incorrect chopping
procedures.
