To the editor:

No matter how far you travel — states or countries away from Brown County — if you have ever been blessed to grow into the person you are there, you know it’s a comfy place.

I recently returned to celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. What an amazing gift of happiness my younger sister, Michelle Kritzer, hosted in the hills of Brown County. Wow.
