Now, they are all grown up and we are so proud.  Some are parents, doctors, elite professional body builders, personal fitness trainers, education administrators, educators, community youth program directors, marketing experts, vaccine researchers and so much more.  All are good women and men doing good things in the world.

Tribute to Shiloh Baptiste – Gone but not forgotten.

Shiloh BaptisteShiloh was one of Coach Brown’s first students. He was an excellent archer, competed in several local and national tournaments and took home more than a few trophies. Shiloh attended New York University Poly and majored in Mechanical Engineering. Shiloh developed aplastic anemia and although the condition often made him tired, he was strong in spirit and mind; always good-natured, hopeful and optimistic.  In April 2012, Shiloh passed away.  Shiloh is loved and missed by his parents, brother, teammates, Coach Brown and all who had the good fortune to know him. Be at peace.
