He was a professor of Japanese history at the University of California at Berkeley. ==Early life, education, and personal life== Brown was born on November 20, 1909 in Harrisonville, Missouri and grew up in Kansas City, Missouri. In 1925, he moved with his family to Santa Ana, California. He attended Santa Ana Junior College and then Stanford University, where he graduated with a degree in history in 1932. Instead of going to law school, as originally planned, Brown took a position teaching English at a prestigious Japanese Imperial "Higher School" in Kanazawa, Ishikawa, Japan. It was there that he met and married Mary Nelson Logan in 1934. During World War II, Brown served as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy.〔 Brown earned his Ph.D. in Japanese history from Stanford in 1946.〔( "Dr. Delmer Brown Receives Medal from Japanese Government," ) ''Nichibei News'', April 29, 1997; retrieved 2013-08-22.〕 In 1987, Mary died after 53 years of marriage. Brown was widowed twice more; by Margaret Young Brown in 2003 and Louise K. Weamer in 2010. He is survived by his companion Pauline Howland, two sisters, a son and three step-children, two granddaughters, and six great-grandchildren.〔 Brown died on November 9, 2011 following a stroke.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Delmer Brown」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
