Mr. B has been teaching for a long time in the Grand Ledge Public School
District in Grand Ledge, Michigan. The career began by spending 9 years
teaching mostly 5th grade at Delta Center.
Next, four years teaching Computer Applications and Technology K-5th grade
for three elementary schools: Delta Center, Greenwood, and Holbrook.
Then taught for a year at Neff and a year at Beagle, and then 3 years at Wacousta,
and then 3 years in 6th grade at Willow Ridge. Following this came 4 years back at Delta Center- that is, until he heard about the opening of Hayes Intermediate!
Now, at Hayes, he is thoroughly enjoying indulging himself in his long-held artistic passion as a Visual Arts teacher. It can be truthfully said that the journey that led him to every GL school (except the High School) has provided him much delight and many learning opportunities!

Weird Stuff:
Mr. B officially became a "Scottish Laird"!
According to Scottish law, anyone who owns land in Scotland has a legal claim to the title of Laird (lord)- not that it means much in modern times! Since Mr. B recently acquired a very tiny plot of land there, he can be legally addressed as "The Much Honored T.D. Brown, Laird of Dunan's Castle on Argyll", or more simply, "Laird Brown ".
Weird, eh?
