Doug Moran
In the 1970’s I was a young teacher at Edmonson Jr High School in Willow Run, Ypsilanti, Michigan where Australia Brown was a custodian. With an endless walk with a dust mop up and down the hallways, she always had a happy smile on her face. One day I asked her how she kept such a positive attitude. She smiled and replied, “Honey, there ain’t nothing gonna bring me down!” I took that uplifting advice to heart and never forgot her,
