COVEcast: Russ Brown on living in interesting times

Russ Brown, 72, is a Cabot resident working on a memoir about a period of his life when, as a young baby boomer, he lived a rootless, unstructured and occasionally dangerous existence traveling around the country picking fruit at orchards. We talked with Brown, the father of COVE Executive Director Ruby Baker, about the joys, tragedies, and paradoxes of being part of the hippy generation, and what he’s learning about himself as he records his memories.
