66 Sandee and Jay Brown, Cub Parents 1977-1987


 Jay and Sandee Brown Cub Parents 1977 - 1987

 

Sandee's family - the Wooleys - were close friends with legendary Mowglis Director William B. Hart Sr and his college roommate Harvey Russell who wrote the Jungle Song and the Mowglis Goodnight song.

 

The Browns came to Mowglis in 1977 and were Cub parents for 10 years. 1977 was not their first visit to Mowglis which came in 1963, on their honeymoon trip. 1963 was year 1 of the Holt Elwell Memorial Foundation and Director William B. Hart. 

 

Sandee and Jay had 25 Cubs in their first year, likely a record number and those numbers remained fairly consistent throughout their tenure.

 

Sandee was named US Conservation Teacher of the year in 1990, she credits her Mowglis experience with inspiring her understanding of the natural environment and her love for it that led her to receive this national recognition.
