Leo Brown enjoys his retirement by taking auto
body courses at Portland Community College.
Community college attracts retired student
Leo Brown thinks he’s the oldest
person in building two at Portland
Community College’s Rock Creek
Center, but that doesn’t stop him
from learning something new.
Brown, 66, retired from Portland
School District no. I, in April of
1978 and in less than nine months
found himself enrolled in the college
auto body program. "It had always
been in the back of my rnind to learn
how to fix up my own cars, but there
was never enough time when I had a
job,” Brown explained.
For 21 years Brown served on the
school district’s custodial relief
team, going to a new assignment
each day. “ I liked having something
different each day," he said.
So far Brown find the vinyl top
work the most interesting. “ Fixing
vinyl tops is nice and clean, and it
doesn't get boring,” he explained.
Brown enrolled in the classes,
which he attends regularly from 7
a.m. to noon each day, mainly to
work on his own cars but said he
isn’t adverse to earning a little money
when he gains enough skills. He has
a big double garage so he can work
indoors even in bad weather.
‘‘They have good training and
good instructors here,” Brown
Atiyeh names
Richardson
commented. ‘‘And the price is
right.” Seniors take the classes at no
cost, other than tools and lab sup
plies, when space is available in PCC
classes.
“ The lab fee was only $16 this
term,” Brown said, “ And I already
owned many of the tools.”
Brown likes being at Rock Creek
Center as much as he enjoys learning
the auto body trade. “ I love being a
round people. It’s a good way to fill
in the hours.”
Brown’s wile Helen thinks a little
differently about his retirement time.
‘‘She thinks I’m too busy,” he
related. “ But after all these years
apart, I don’t think we could really
get along at home all the time.”
A fishing advocate, Brown also
spends a lot of his retirement time on
deep sea charters.
Brown intends to learn only part
of the auto body trade. ” 1 don't care
about some things, such as air con
ditioning,” he said. "The nice thing
about PCC is being able to take what
classes you want.”
The college offers a two year cour
se leading to an associate of applied
science degree, but they have classes
set up in a modular pattern so a
student interested in specific phases
may sign up for shorter sessions. For
instance, the arc welding portion
takes three weeks to learn and the
metal finishing class takes six weeks.
Brown is one of many PCC
students who fill in retirement hours
with a class to learn a new trade.
The Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority
held a Disco and Variety Show last

ship activities. The opening act in the
