Milton Brown has been a faithful member at FiftyForward Bordeaux since January 2013. His late sister was a key factor for him joining FiftyForward Bordeaux. Mr. Brown has five brothers and four sisters. His family named him “Bubba.” His FiftyForward family has also adopted his nickname here at the Bordeaux Center.
Ann Black (Chair) Jean Arnell Brenda Gilmore Phyllis Cain Keith King Pastor James Larkin
Mr. Brown loves listening to all genres of music. Mr. Brown has always wanted to be a “DJ,” but due to his limited sight, he was unable to find a place that would hire him as a “DJ.” However, he did fulfill his dream by accompany one of his friends at a local club were he help “DJ” on occasions.

Mr. Brown enjoys coming to the center and being amongst friends and family. Mr. Brown uses Access Ride weekly to get back and forth to the center. Without this program, Mr. Brown would be home alone. Mr. Brown enters the center each day with a big SMILE. One of the most contagious things about Mr. Brown is his sense of humor and laugh. One thing about “Bubba” is that he still loves music and will call into his favorite radio station “92 Q” and request a song weekly.
