Dick Brown (curler)

Dick Brown is an American curler. Brown was the skip on a team out of Hibbing Curling Club in Hibbing, Minnesota which won the US National Championship two times, in 1959 and 1962.[1] The team was mostly family, including Brown's father-in-law Fran Kleffman at second and brother-in-law Terry Kleffman at third. The only non-family member was Nick Jerulle at lead.[2] In 1962 the team represented the United States at the World Championship, which was then called the 1962 Scotch Cup.[3] This was only the second time the United States had competed in the Championship. Brown's team finished with a 4–2 record, good enough to earn them the silver medal.
