Back in Chicago after the assassination, Tad attended the Brown School. While there he became the editor of the Brown School Holiday Budget. It contained lots of material such as articles on whether or not Santa Claus existed, wit and humor columns, poems, weather reports, and a school enrollment directory. I believe the Chicago History Museum has a copy of it.

While in Frankfurt, Germany, Tad attended school at Dr. Johann Heinrich Hohagen's Institute. Tad boarded at the school. Among the topics he studied were German, French, English, and drawing. Tad also took dancing lessons while in Germany.

The Brown School in Chicago, where Tad attended, was torn down in 1956. There is currently a William H. Brown Elementary School located on or near the site of Tad's school at the corner of Hermitage and Warren, but I am not sure if there is a name connection between the two schools.

Roger, every time I try to reply to a particular post by hitting the "reply" tab on that post, it will not work--so I use quick reply. Am I doing something wrong?
