Raymond Dean Brown was born on August 5, 1949, in Muscatine, Iowa, the son of Gerald D. and Helen Elizabeth Lichtenwald Brown.
Ray graduated from Muscatine High school, Muscatine Community College and Metropolitan State College in Denver, Colorado. He was a Commercial instrument Rated pilot and spent his military career working in Transient Radiation and Electromagnetic Pulse Radiation Effects. After leaving the military he built Nuclear Accelerators, and worked in Inertial Confinement Fusion, Star Wars Directed Energy, Direct Drive Nuclear Effects, Positron Emission Tomography, Light and Heavy Ion implantation, and worked with the technical staff of the SuperConducting SuperCollider, the American version of the Large Hadron Proton Collider. After leaving science Ray worked in computers and electromechanical machines and as a project manager/ scheduler on coal fired power plant repair and pollution controls outages.
He enjoyed billiards, golf, and genealogy. After retiring he became a Meta Researcher studying the crimes against the American people. He became an avid writer regarding the problems of the world and he always said a secret society took over America on November 22, 1963. Ray always thought the most important thing when studying something was to ask: What is the Secret? What makes it work? And always force yourself to try things you would never do, at least once.
Those left to honor and cherish Ray’s memory include his sisters, Cynthia (Ronald) Cross of Moline, IL and Karen Lorber of Muscatine, IA; uncle Don Lichtenwald and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Connie Andrisevic; and infant niece, Amy Lorber.
