Pat Brown remembered as 'man of pride, not vanity'.(Originated from Knight-Ridder Newspapers)
SAN FRANCISCO _ As the architect of California's Golden Era, former Gov. Edmund G. ``Pat'' Brown's political achievements were legion. But it was his high spirits, good humor and larger-than-life personality that were most on the minds of the family members who spoke here Wednesday at his funeral.
``He never, ever hesitated to laugh at himself,'' daughter Kathleen Brown, herself a recent gubernatorial candidate, told the nearly 1,000 family members, old friends and political supporters who gathered at St. Cecelia's Catholic Church. ``He was a man of pride but not of vanity.''
The elder Brown, who died Friday at age 90, had reason to be proud.
