F. Gorham Brigham, Jr.100th Birthday Celebration - January 14, 2015

A glimpse into Mr. Brigham’s world is one of many hand-written notes of thanks and praises, of a sharply dressed and a well-spoken man, of a man who includes others in conversations and of a man who genuinely wants others to connect in ways they might not have without his gentle persuasion. His world is of a man who is always on time and of a man who does what he says when he says it will be done. His world is a world of great character, of unquestionable ethics and of high morals. Gorham has taught us all so much and he continues to inspire us each day.
