Op-Ed: Remembering Art Brown

By |

[Jay Egan is athletic director at New Canaan High School.]

Our friend and colleague Coach Art Brown passed on Friday, August 9th. 

Art was a cross country and track coach at New Canaan High School  for the past 15 years. Prior to coaching at NCHS, Art had a long and successful career as a teacher and track coach at Stamford High School.  He was named the CHCAA  Track Coach of the Year in 2002 and was inducted into  the FCIAC Hall of Fame in 2008 in recognition of his work as a track coach at both Stamford and Rippowam High Schools. Art was loved by all the athletes he coached because they knew he unconditionally cared about each one of them. Art was also a great Fan of the Rams. He regularly attended football, basketball, soccer and lacrosse games and loved to share his coaching advice with the NCHS staff. We will remember Art as a dedicated and passionate coach who was loved and respected by all of his athletes.

To the Editor:

One of the most important events in New Canaan is scheduled for Wednesday, August 29th at 7pm. The 8th Annual Community Addiction Awareness Vigil will take place outdoors at 6 South Avenue and will include 3 speakers in long-term recovery. 

“Awareness” is a very important word. Addiction is a disease.

We’ve just been to What’s Done Is Done by the Town Players of New Canaan at the Powerhouse. We enjoyed it a great deal. It’s a simple play, with two characters and a simple set.

The First and Possibly Only Annual Who Knewies: A Very Subjective Compendium of What’s Best Around Here

‘Who Knew?’ is sponsored by Walter Stewart’s Market. This month, my husband and I will celebrate our tenth anniversary of calling New Canaan home. While it sometimes feels like it’s only been a week, this has been an action-packed decade. Like Junior Nutmeggers out to earn our advanced badges, we studiously spent our nights and weekends checking out tried-and-true local haunts, finding the best backroad shortcuts, and adopting the cares and cadences of a Fairfield County life. 

Like anyone who harbors secret dreams of being an ungodly hybrid of Oprah and Martha, flying between my stately homes in Montecito and Maine with a trunkful of Loro Piana and a terrified personal staff, I’ve been quietly collecting personal favorites, a definitive list of Approved Things™ to share with friends and visitors to our fair corner of the world. This month, I’m making that list public, so I can share something back with a community that’s given me so much to enjoy.
