Brown and Jones collaborate on new outdoors venture 

By: Glynn Harris

I can’t help but admire folks who have that certain drive to do the very best at what they do and they just keep on keeping on. One such fellow who has captured my attention is John L. Brown, Jr. 

Brown was born and raised in Gilbert in northeast Louisiana and he first came to my attention when he and friend, Rex Moncrief started a local television show, The Outdoor News, some 30 or so years ago that aired on Monroe stations. Since I was did some work writing for Willamette Industries and that company signed on as a sponsor for the program, I appeared a time or two with these guys on their program.
