Description Dorothy Jorgensen Brown recounts her first meeting and immediate connection with Deane Wakley Brown during a music appreciation class at BYU. She learned that he had recently returned from a mission to East Germany and played the violin in the symphony. Later that day, during orchestra rehearsal, Deane spotted her in the oboe section, waved his violin bow, and their eye contact confirmed their mutual interest. After rehearsal, he offered to walk her home, which she suggests was love at first sight.
