Longtime Darien resident and father of three DHS grads, Gordon Brown, will be coming home this week from a rehabilitation hospital in Chicago after the tragic accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down this spring. ____________

His return will be unquestionably challenging and difficult, but, hopefully has been made that much easier by the caring and support of the Darien community. The Aug. 26 Spatastics concert and silent auction, held in Tilley Pond Park to raise funds for his family and defray some medical expenses, was hosted by Baywater Properties and the Glassmeyer family. A crowd of about 800 came out to enjoy the music of “The Spadtastics” and sample cuisine from a variety of local food trucks.
